I can't help you with the shipping, but personally, if you have the time, i'd go check it out in person. That's just me talking, and unless you plan on rebuilding this engine anyways, i'd go have a look at it.

Good luck!

Double boxed and padded, I sent one UPS last year (900) it was $85, with increases for fuel and it being a triple, I'd say around $100.

FEDEX ground

I sent a big twin to MI from NH was $80ish. I sent some parts separate to keep weight under their max.

DHL is another option I've heard is cost effective.

Just shipped a 600 motor with everything from Colorado to Utah with UPS was 85# and cost was $80. What I did was went down and purchased a plastic storage bin with a lid and Packed it in there so it wouldn't move around put the lid on and duct taped the lid on then shrink wrapped it. That gives the UPs person handles to carry it with.

Put it in a cooler tape it closed and ship it. I have done it twice this way and it works just great.
