   I know this has been talked about before but its been a while and 
things change.

  I need to figure out how to ship a motor and tranny from Stroud, 
Gloucestershire to S. Calif.  I am looking at buying a running 
motor/gearbox to put into my car (its not Spridget related), the seller 
initially was not willing to help with crating and shipping but now is 
saying he will help  but I am not sure how much he is willing to help.  
It would be nice if I could help from this end with information.

  Also any guess on the cost ?  The 2 items are separated right now, 
could be shipping in one box or 2.  Its a 4cyl.  972cc motor with all 
its ancillaries attached and one gearbox, no guess on the actual weight, 
I have never one of these motors in person, my motor was in bits and 
pieces (lots of pieces, like the crank was in 2 pieces, the block was in 
3 pieces).

  Wifey, is not happy, I spent a LOT of money putting a 1098cc motor 
together for this car and its not even run yet and after 14 years of 
looking I finally found a motor.  I am also torn because the Spridget 
motor would allow me to drive this car anywhere/anytime and not worry 
about breakage but with the original motor I would drive it more 
sparingly I think but originality is a plus for me.
