Keep in mind as well, shipping east to west is far more expensive than
shipping west to east, and shipping for the individual is far more expensive
than a company with a shipping account.

figure  $175-200 for drop shipping a long block



I think that's about what I paid for my all aluminum case MOFOCO  engine to 
be shipped back in 2006. However it didn't really have far to go,  until it 
went to Montana. :O Like someone else here mentioned, it too was timed  
like a t-1, so changing that was the 1st order of business. Supposedly it
was 
to  be set up as an FI T-3 engine, but what I got was basically a t-1 carb 
set up.  What I mean by that, is that there was no provision for the head
temp 
sensor,  and the t-1 drive gear orientation, and a plate covering where the 
t-3 dip stick  would go (it was new a universal case). But it came with a 
"rebuilt" t-3 oil  cooler, that I ordered when the engine was built (insert 
rolling eyes icon  here).
