Engine Shipping Help

Looking for some help getting an engine moved from central Minnesota to North Florida. Anyone in the Rochester Mn area that can help me out? I need to get the engine out of the hands of the current seller and stored inside until I can figure out how best to get to Florida? Seller would rather not work a long distance transaction which i understand, so he's giving me a couple weeks to see if I can work a local transaction with someone else. Good guy, and I appreciate him at least giving me the opportunity. I'm more than happy to pay someone for their time and effort. Any suggestions send me a PM. Thanks

I just got a complete 330 shipped from New York to Iowa from Fastenal for 200. It arrived in less than a week. Can the seller strap it to a pallet?

"Just" as in a few weeks ago? I'd heard that Fastenal had suspended the third party shipping service due to Covid. Have they started doing it again? That would be good news.

Yes, I received my new purchase August 7th just in time for my birthday. I picked up a running 64 330 for my 64.

The seller will provide no help beyond giving someone access to the engine. He doesn’t have the equipment or energy I guess to stick on a pallet and wrap it in plastic. He wants a local buyer so not willing to provide any assistance. Left it up to me to figure something out by end of September.
