i was told by someone on another forum that when your swap arrives, you need to have an engine hoist available so the shipping company doesn't charge you an extra $100 to unload it from the truck. this sounds like to me. does anyone know anything about this?

 

hellooo?

theres gotta be someone here who knows about this.

 

come onnnn!!

theres gotta be a few people out there who have had swaps shipped to their house!!!!

 

sounds like bs, y would they charge you 100 bucks extra bc they cant get it out of the truck....however having one their would make things a whole lot easier

 

yeah, thats what i thought. i should have one available anyways because i need to get it on a stand so i can start pulling it apart when i get it, but i'd rather wait till i have the money to buy an inexpensive stand rather than borrowing one from a friend. thanks . anyone else?

 

Thats true. I guess it depends on who is shipping the motor. But if you dont have the equipment to unload the motor they do charge you a $100 Dollars or more to unload it.

Alot of websites say to have equipment or a few friends to unload motor to avoid that fee.

 

They only charge you extra when it's a residential delivery rather than a commercial one, when u order the engine they always ask, they do charge u a bit xtra for residential delivery[ 4 some reason?]. The engines all usually come in crates, u should'nt have to worry about a hoist.

'97 ex w/ b18c swap

 

hmmm... okay. i'll have to get ahold of a hoist then, or something. when i ordered the engine from osaka, they never asked me if it was to a residential address. so i don't really know what's gonna happen.

 

osaka, let us know what kinda condition the motor is in when you get it

 

why? should i be worried? did you have a bad experience with them or something?

 

when I was shopping for a swap in 03, I was considering them, then I did search on h-t, and it seemed like I should buy from somewhere else, I went with hmotorsonline.com, 90k later still doesn't burn oil even with M1. It just seems like some people had bad expierences with them back then, maybe they have changed idk
