G'day, I was supposed to drive to melb next week to pick up my engine but I have been called in for work so I probably can't. Just wondering if anyone has freighted an engine from melb to sydney/newcastle or the other way, who did you do it through and how much did it cost roughly? Do they drop it at your door etc... Just want a rough idea of what I'm looking at. It's an rb30 by the way with manifolds, turbo etc. Cheers Brad

Try toll ipec aswell,we got motors from melbourne and their fairly well priced. They can drop it off with a truck thats got a tailgate loader if u request it.

Normally they ask you to have it on a pallet and pick up and delivery is to be a business and must have a forklift. I shipped a V8 from melbourne to townsville and it was about $300 for freight.
