Default shipping bottom end, ok to lay on side?

i'm shipping a complete bottom end to someone (oil pan,pistons, crank, etc). And i was wondering if its safe to lay the engine on its side? i usually see them shipped w/ them sitting on the oil pan.

I'm shipping from california to new jersey (looong distance). the amount is anywhere from $200-->$280 depending on who, and if its a residential or commercial place, or if its dropped off/picked up from the terminal.

I went with freght harbor or something like that. i got the quote from http://www.freightquotes.com and they estimated $244 for a 150lb item.
