Walt, I pulled the rockers and cams out and left the heads bolted to the cam towers. I wrapped each bank with some thin sheet foam and put them in a box (23"x18"x14", I know because I have the receipt from UPS store right here). It all weighed 64.62 lbs. It cost $78 to ship from Ohio to Portland. Could have possibly shipped cheaper w/ another carrier. I could have also hept the cam towers here but I wanted Steve to flush out the sprayer bar etc. Either way, well worth it knowing that they will come back correct the first time. Not to mention all of the awesome free advice from Steve!
