Hey so I'm buying jimi's (supraman) 6mgte and my #1 job is to find a company to ship the motor from NO to nashville (70003 to 37027) and he gave me the name us freightways who has a fair price but im still wondering if there are others who will be even lower. any suggestions?

PS-how much does the 6mgte weigh?

From memory, I think I was billed at 475 pounds when it was shipped to me from Moorman.

I tried using uship.com (kinda like the ebay of shipping). I had one guy willing to do it for $200 (cheap!), but the timing didn't work out between he and Jason.

Also, there is a chance that I will have use of an enclosed trailer to haul the last of my stuff from here to TN, which means driveway delivery for you. Unfortunately I won't know for sure how big this thing is or how much room I'll have until sometime later this week.

Thanks again for purchasing this!

Regards,

Jimi

yeah it'd be a great thing. I've only seen three other mk2s in nashville and they were all ragged out. I'm lonely over here.

thanks a lot i cant wait till that motor gets up here. im liquidating my puny mutual fund and theyre cutting me a check, some of which will go to you. I'm ready to send several hundred bucks as a first installment. Anything changed with our shipping situation today? I'm hoping jason moorman will log on soon and check his pms so ill get some info on the rebuild.
