Delivery options
How it's packed
- Engine bolted to a steel shipping cradle through the motor-mount or bellhousing bosses. It cannot shift or tip.
- Plywood and 2×4 crate around the cradle, banded to a 48×40 pallet.
- All openings capped and taped: intake, exhaust ports, water pump, crank snout, dipstick. Oil drained, no fluids.
- Shrink-wrapped, with "FRAGILE — DO NOT STACK" and inspection instructions on every side.
- Photographed at every step before the crate is sealed. You get the photos by text or email the day it ships.
Crating is $175 per engine and is already included in the zone rates above. Cradles are returnable for a $100 credit if you ship them back.
Insurance & receiving
Every shipment is insured for the full invoice value. Freight carriers only cover a few dollars per pound on their own, so we buy declared-value coverage on every engine.
When it arrives, before you sign:
- Walk around the crate. Look for crushed corners, torn wrap or a broken band.
- If anything looks off, write "DAMAGED" on the delivery receipt and take photos before the driver leaves. That one note is what makes a claim pay.
- Call or text us at (602) 510-9021 right away. We handle the claim with the carrier; you don't have to.
A delivery receipt signed clean means the carrier accepts no responsibility, so please do look it over first.
Timing
- Transit is usually 3–7 business days once the engine leaves the shop.
- You get the tracking (PRO) number the day it ships. The terminal calls you to schedule pickup or delivery.
- Build lead times are listed on each engine's product page and confirmed on your quote.
