Im going to be getting an engine shipped to me, and its 375lbs. The guy thats shipped it told me that its $265 to ship it to a station, and 90 more to ship it to my door.
Who do you use to ship an engine? Is this about normal for a heavy engine? Its from Northcoast, Ohio (gussing 43440 zip) to Modesto, California (95350 zip). Thanks a ton Andrew |

Brad and I use ForwardAir.
It cost around $150 to ship a 912 engine from Cali to Michigan. -Britain |

If you can get Forward Air to do it for $150 door to door thats a bargin.
If you cant get competitive rates from Forward Air high quality LTL providers such as ABF, Watkins or Conway will move a crated engine for under $150. You will get cheaper rates if you pick up at their local terminal. |

Forward Air is a terminal to terminal service, but $100- $150 should do it.

My motor arrived today from Jake FedEx Freight. Took 2 business days from GA to FL for $200.
They showed up at my house with a semi trialer that had no lift. We had to use my ramps and my gardner who happened to be here to slide her down. Luckily I also had a big cart to move it up the drive. dr |

Even after the informative conversation that I had with Brad, I still think that I am going to get the 2.8 v6 engine in the classifieds. I have some good reasons not to go with the engine, but my main reason is the fact that, if (and when) my engine does go kerput, I dont want to be forking out 2k or more to rebuild my engine, and for only 100hp. I'll be getting a solid, reliable engine with more hp (claimed 210, I'll test that on a dyno when I get it). Yes it weights more, and Yes I have to plumb a radiator setup, But I'll be putting some fiberglass parts on my car, and I will be needing a radiator setup if I went with a EJ20TT or SBC anyways (besides, daddy says I cant drive it if I put a SBC in it.. I dont blame him).
The secrets out of the bag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Andrew |

Andrew, I "might" have a V6 performance book for you, it's been a while since I've seen it.....I was looking at those small 60° V6's a few years back to put into my 510.
should be a fun setup |

I used Central Transport. Motor and trans cost about$250 from Dallas/Fortworth to Colton, Ca. That was Depot to Depot. If you want residential pick up and delivery add about $200 for a truck with a lift gate etc. I was very satisfied with their service.

Mike. no problem....I've always thought a nice little V6 is perfect for the 914's if you are going to go and do a motor swap.....V8 cars are a blast, but the V6 seems better suited, besides, you don't need as much of the specialized conversion parts............I'm waiting for a Cayanne V6 to come on the market at a reasonable price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I read an article on the golf R32. They say that it is the same 3.2 liter V6 used in the Toureg and the V6 Cayenne.
