Freight is shipped nonexpedited which means they can take up to a month to lose it find it, lose it and find it again. Want a tracking number? Don't bug us about a tracking number until it's 5 days overdue past the figures below. 25 minutes on hold and four long distance phone calls to find out an engine is on a truck is silly.

SO..When it's 5 d-a-y-s o-v-e-r-d-u-e

call us and we'll get right on it.

To estimate the total number of days it will take for the engine to be trucked to us, for us to custom remanufacture it, and then ship it back to you, double the number of days listed below next to your state, then add 5 days for remanufacturing time**.

Remanufactured Engine Ocean and Air Shipping outside the USA

Returning an old engine core from overseas is is generally not cost effective so pricing estimates below are one way.

Competing against engine builders world wide we try to get the best prices on remanufactured engine shipping, however, prices quoted here and via e-mail are strictly estimates. Since we will try to ship planet wide, on a planet where every bureaucrat has their hand out and every little burg has a fee and a permit, the customer assumes responsibility for any and all unforseen additional expenses and risk. Like the time the island float plane got a hernia. Costs incurred in returning an engine back to us for incorrect application or warranty repairs or anything else, for that matter, are not covered. This includes bills for Bolivian pack mule saddle blisters and lost income from the Alaskan gold mine sluice pumps. Whatever. However, insurance is available that covers estimated shipping costs in the event of a defective engine warranty claim or incorrect application. The price is 25% of the estimated round trip cost and must be paid in advance.

European Orders

Phone or e-mail most of your questions at once and tell us right up front what seaport you want it sent. The Euro method of using 25 e-mails for 25 questions just causes problems. If we don't feel the European customer knows what he wants, or he cannot communicate it to us, we may refuse to make the sale. If you send 10 e-mails in two different languages, there will be five different interpreters and a couple of hundred misunderstandings.

It is a big plus for you to have an English speaking technically minded guy helping you with the order on the phone.

Costs. You must pick it up at a seaport or airport terminal now. Most problems used to arise during the land portion on the other end. Ocean  USUALLY runs between $450 and $600 USD with the ocean portion being very reasonable. If you are handling the overseas part, estimated land transport to American ocean ports for export on a treated export pallet is $147.50 for East Coast, $197.50 West Coast.

Big heavy engines are more expensive to ship than than light small ones. Engine crating for overseas used to be $85, temporarily, it's free. 
Rule of thumb has air freight at about double the cost of ocean freight.

How to send us your engine for remanufacturing

   1. Get a skid at least as pretty as this one. If you buy one, don't pay more than $6. 

  2. Now you don't have to be this fancy to strap your core engine down but it sure makes it easy. This set of  four came from Sam's Club and was about $13. We will send them back with the fresh engine.

Dog chain works too.

3. It might be a good idea to nail some two-by fours around the block so it doesn't slide around under the straps. Oh, yeah. Don't forget to get ALL the oil and water out of the engine before it goes on the truck.

4. Call us the day before the engine can be ready first thing in the morning. The truck almost always picks up the next day or same day if you call early enough.

5. Now, you have to get the engine-on-the skid and on the 48 inch tall truck bed using one of four methods.

A. Forklift from a truck dock. (ha! Fat chance)
B. If you still have the cherry-picker, chain fall or come-along, use that. (lift from the engine block or heads with the skid dangling)
C. You might call the local trucking terminal to see if they have a lift gate truck available but be prepared to pay extra for the special treatment.
D. Use a skid made of upsidasium. 
E. One way or another, get it on the back of a pickup truck and take it to the local terminal so a forklift can easily remove it .
If it makes it any easier to handle, it's OK to remove the cylinder heads. Just make sure we get ALL the longblock parts. It's just as important to not send us anything extra either as we may assume you don't want it anymore and we will throw it away.

There are significant advantages to having your own engine remanufactured.

   1. Save fifty bucks off of our regular longblock prices.

   2. No core deposit assessed like there is with exchange engines.

   3. It ends the search. Twenty years ago there was a handful of different engines to put into America's cars. Modern manufacturing has brought rapid mid year improvements, imports and variations resulting in the thousands. There is a need for so many different engines that no single company can have them all or even most of them.

   4. We can make absolutely certain that what we sell you fits perfectly in your car or truck. Mid year production changes and many different minor differences make engine ordering somewhat risky. Sometimes Vin codes seem to be just a general guideline. Older cars can have absolutely anything under the hood other than what they should have. For example: In 1997 a previous owner of your 1988 car had a 1983 junkyard engine installed. If you order a 1988 engine for your 1988 car by mistake you will find out that it doesn't fit. The unpleasant truth is that there is a whole bunch of ways to make the wrong engine sorta fit or kinda work.

   5. We can help diagnose the primary cause of engine failure and other secondary causes of internal damage. (So you or your mechanic can keep it from happening again… Cuz, really folks, most engines don't die on their own from wear. They die from transmission torque converter ballooning and from leaking fuel injectors flooding cylinders and from defective E.G.R valves and from excessively lean carburetors and contaminated oil coolers and from clogged catalytic converters and filters.  Dig?
