    shipping a lower end

    Whats the best way to ship a completed lower end and insure that it will arrive with all the parts on it that are supposed to be on it and in one piece without over kill.
    Thanks FNA

    Build a custom crate that the motor mounts are bolted into. Fully inclosed.

      Most moving companies are able to construct a box around your motor with firm plastic blocks to prevent side-to-side movement. Bolt the motor and block it in with 2x4's.

        Buy and Ice Chest, a big one, I have shipped a lot of motor in them. Way easier than building a crate and way better.

          I did that with a JD bottom end I sold. Worked like a champ.

            I've also sent cylinders that way.
