Truck is the best way, since air carriers won't usually touch them any more. Standard tariff rate from NY to CA is going to be over well over $500 for 200lbs in a typical engine crate. We ship a lot so we get discounts ~50%. If I were you, I would try to find a shipper that gets discounts in your area and ship using his account number. (If you can.) There are some types of shippers that have better tariffed rates. (Greyhound might be a better deal.)

Might try http://www.freightcenter.com

They will ask you all kinds of questions, so be prepared with shipping info- size, class ( 70-used VW engine-crated, dry) weight ,where it is going, phone number. Do you have a dock or are you dropping off at a terminal. Is it going to a business with a dock or to a terminal . They will give you several shippers to chose from. Should run about $200-230 terminal to terminal if you do not need a lift.

Hope this helps

This brings up something I need to get rid of - I have one of the fiberglass shipping crates that will handle a vee motor from clutch to carb. I've had it for years and would like to get the space back. It's not perfect, but not broken up either. I can bring it to the Runoffs if someone wants to make me an offer and pick it up there ... just don't make me bring it back home

I can get pix if you want, but it's just like all the others (pretty much).
Make me an offer...
