For shipping motors, IMHO, the best option is to contact your local boneyard. They ship motors ALL.THE.TIME. I’d ask how much to strap it on a pallet and have them send with their freight company. Might cost you $50. Might cost you a pizza.
That’s what I’ve done in the past.

Truck freight only: https://www.gowesty.com/product/made-in-usa/24110/2200cc-engine-?v= You will want to ship in the crate they used because there is a $300 core charge on it. You can take the crate to a freight company and they will handle it what ever way GW wants it.
