The best way to ship something like this is by freight. Build a wooden box
or frame around the engine and gearbox. Seperate or together it wont
really matter. Wraping in plastic wouldn't be a bad idea either. The only
caveat is the truck driver may or may not help you load and unload
it. They are pretty reliable as far as time goes. You can always go to
the dock and pick it up as well. I'm pretty sure it will be cheaper than
UPS.
