big block of metal from Minnesota to Huntsville... how?

How can I get an engine transported from Minnesota to Alabama? I really need a cheap way. I don't care how long it takes either.

Truck freight is usually the most cost effective way. That's how engine swaps are usually sent. I believe the average cost is around $200-300. People usually strap the engine down onto a pallet and shrinkwrap around it.

I shipped a transmission from Winnipeg (thats 5 hours north of Minneapolis) to cali for $70. I can't see it being more than double that from Minnesotta to Alabama (no border to cross or nuthin)
