2.0L 16V: The Project Begins

[treed2@u.washington.edu (T. Reed)]

Michael,

Good question. It was shipped FedEx 3Day Freight from Van Nuys, CA to
Seattle, WA. It weighed 160 lbs. Cost of shipping was $50!! How? I don't
know for sure, but I have a sneaking suspicion that they guy who sold it
to me worked for FedEx. I jumped on the deal right away because I couldn't
find anyone selling a shortblock locally.

They delivered it to my door but I used a hand truck and ramps to get
it off the vehicle. It was actually quite a bit lighter than I expected...
not light enough to lift alone without potentially hurting something, but
it was easy with 2 people.
