Hey Guys, i was wondering if there is any company out there that makes a custom crate for the SR20DE engine. And how much they are. Last time i shipped an engine the distributor got damaged..The guy said he could send it in a box crate for an additional 145, is that a fair price?
thanks :D

What engine distributors normally do is put the engine on a pallete, and tie it down so it doesnt move around.
SR20 engines are good because the oil pan is flat, and it stands up on its own. One of my friends bought a Mazda engine, and it came shipped upside down :D

True, but the concern was the engine isnt really protected. Just the bubbles and plastic wrap...I know my JDM was shipped on a pallette and was damaged. I don't want anything to happen to the engine so i was thinking of just putting it in a box..or if someone knows of a custom crating company.

tack some sides and a top onto the pallette if its that big of a concern

most small shipping companys will build you a crate as apart of the shipping for a few extra bux if you ask them
