A friend of mine ordered a b16 full swap from HMO a few months ago. It got delivered on a truck with a lift gate and put down on driveway. It was Dammm clean too. HMO was also stamped all over the swap....

I had one dropped off in an apt parking lot. He didn't help me load it on a truck, but that may depend on the driver.

If you have a flat 4 wheel dolly, it a pc of cake. Whole pallet with motor etc is about 400 to 500 lbs. I did this to my swap after I helped the guy slide it down off an 18 wheeler with a 8 foot long 4x4 piece of wood i had handy.

I ordered a B18C from them awhile back. The way it worked for me was the company called after the engine got into Michigan (where i live) to set up a delivery time. They asked if I was going to need a lift-gate truck or help moving it. I forget the exact price I had to pay beyond the regular shipping but I think it was like $50 for the liftgate and it was supposed to be another $35 or something like that to have the driver take it off the truck with a pallet jack and put it wherever you want. He didn't charge me to use the jack though, so I just tipped him a twenty. Everything went smooth though and the engine was really clean. Just getting around now though to putting it in.

the freight company should have a pallet jack and should help get it into your garage. if they dont they are ********.

Hmotors uses GI trucking as ive had...several...engines delivered from them and each time they have put it in my garage. when i ordered my clip from another company it came GI and while it was scarry(didnt fit on the lift gate) and heavy we got it into my garage.
