Title: Shiping?????????????????????
Post by: dirtytom on April 18, 2006, 09:36:29 am

I have a lead on a tdi engine that needs a head gaskit in Worcestershire, United Kingdom for next to nothing and I would convert it to mech tdi. So here is my question does anybody know the weight of early tdi engines and how to ship it to jacksonville fl. in the US. I am having trouble finding a shiping company and am trying to figure out if it would be cost afective.
Thanks

Wow - not sure on that, but by boat would be the only economical way, and I would try hard to find a local company that ships containers from UK to your locale.  I shipped some stuff from Europe to Colorado years ago on containers that the company I worked for had shipped.  That was easy, but I suspect it is gonna be tough to find for you.

when i looked into that a few years ago i could only pay for a full shipping container... not just 'go along for the ride' on a mostly-full container. i didn't have that much to ship so i gave up on it.
