Need help with engine & trans shipping quote

All:

I've decided to put a GM gen IV 5.3 V8 engine & transmission in this, because 320bhp is better than 180bhp & a 6-speed auto is better than a 4-speed.



Found a good deal on a low-mile engine & transmission, but shipping is a killer. Other than the ususal suspects (FedEx, UPS & Fastenal), is there anyone else I can use? Current quote is over @1k even if it's on a pallet & is shipped to the office.

Thoughts? Maybe just source one closer & go get it?

Cheers,

Paul.
