Default engine delivery

i ordered my b18c and it was supposed to be shipped to hybrid dynamics but it arrived at my house today which is WRONG!!!! Now im wandering if I could move the engine with the help of freinds onto our truck and drop it off ourselves saving time and redelivery charges. has anyone done this before and is it difficult ( the engine weighs 350 lbs ) i was just looking to see if i should handle it myself or pay the extra charges to reship it????
( im huviduces brother so im not new to the forum ) thanks guys:thumbup:

if it's on a crate then sure. get a couple of 2X4's, 3 other guys, slide the 2x4's under the crate equal length apart. you will now have the box crate with four lifting handles at each corner and have everyone lift at the same time...woola

hopefully the truck you plan to use doesn't have a 30" lift kit on it

If you're thinking about transporting it in a car, you might consider taking it apart (exhaust manifold, intake manifold, tranny). If you can't fit it in your trunk, you might also have some luck if you remove your passenger seat.

engine only weights 350? wow, i thought they weighed more but that's cool...did they get your shipping address and billing address mixed up? cuz if so they should really be paying for it, otherwise have fun blowing out your back...
