Forward Air .....about +- $280
has to be dropped off at their terminal (they will unload off your p.u)
and will be sent to one of their terminals in Florida ( they will forklift it onto your truck

Just had a 930 engine in a crate shipped from St. Louis to Sacramento (640lbs) via Forward Air. Was quick and efficient but cost $460.

Carcarrier . Door to door delivery(almost). aprox 800-1200 per car so engine box would be way cheeper.

I shipped a Honda XR600 dirt bike from California. Surprisingly inexpensive and quick.

I use freightquote.com I get some pretty good rates, the most expensive I have checke was $346 from Ohio to Oregon.

I've used Old Dominion trucking. Door to door service. Not bad in my experience.

Post Script.
I ended up shipping the complete engine from CA to FL in 3 separate boxes less than 100lbs each with Greyhound. Total cost was less than $200.
I was delivered ion 3 days. This is the best and cheapest way to go with parts that can be boxed and kept under 100lbs each...

Forwardair quoted me $480.
I paid less than $200 with Greyhound and it took 3 days. Do the math.

Add palette weight, exhaust, flywheel and complete MFI to the weight of the motor itself. I know how much it cost because I had to pay it.
