ok i didn't get much help yesterday with this topic so i thought i'd repost it. I've searched google alot and found nothing!

first question is ...how much does a DOHC ZC engine+ transmission+ the pm7 ecu weigh? a guess from someone who has an idea is better than me

second..who knows of a relatively cheap shipping company that will ship from cali to new mexico? I found some that ship cali to new york but no where near new mexico!!!! AHHHHHHH!!! So i need some help ASAP on this

thanks everyone...and guess what..as soon as my engine gets here you can all help me to put it in my baby!

 

The ZC and tranny should weight around 200-250 pounds. The engine will be rated as a Class 85. I'm not sure who you're dealing with but if it's an Engine Importer they should know of a shipping company that can transfer your shipment to another shipping company in new mexico. That's how some of it is done. If you want to, you could look in the phone book for a trucking company and see if they do LTL (Less than TruckLoad) shipments meaning your shipment will not take up the whole truck. Some of them refuse to take anything less than a truckload to save time and trouble delivering every single item.

Or you could go with FedEX Freight. They swallowed up Viking Freight I think and they're basically their freight carrier now and they have pretty much fixed rates like 30% off standard charge (at least I think it's 30%).

Say, you take the 200 pounds and multiply that by the class rating which is in percents which is .85 so 200*.85=$170 For fedex itd be like $119 or something like that. (If the class rating is greater than 100 it'd be 1.XX) but engines/trannys are always class 85.

Hope this helps.

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH....and i'm getting it from a guy i met on http://www.crxsi.com, so fedex huh? i never thought of that

 

NOWAY THE MOTOR AND TRANNY IS GUNA BE 200LP! the tranny alone is 75lb. the best combany i found here in cali is ABS they charge me 175$ for a 574lb long block shipped to portland check with them this guy doesnt know what the f*ck he's talkin about.

 

Do you have a link to the site?

 

boooo on large shipping fees, maybe rent a truck for 2 days and make the trip lol?

 

My dohc ZC was shipped as 300lb, and I agree fully with 90efcrx, the tranny is like 75, if not more. Shoot for 400ish.

 

My DOHC ZC was listed as 265lbs when I got it shipped from Nippon Motors. This was just the long block.
