ok guys, it's my turn to be a newbie for once. anyway, i have a 1989 accord lx-i and i've located the 2.0 dohc motor that was available outside the n. american market. this engine is coded the b20a and fits the 1984-1987 prelude and 1986-1989 accord as a direct bolt-in. the jdm version made 160 hp and 131 tq, edm made 144 hp and 1?? tq. it is not the same b20a from the 1988-1991 prelude that was also coded b20a. anyway, that's more just random information. my real question is this: the engine is in new zealand, i'm in california, what would be the cheapest way to get it shipped safely? it's the complete swap: engine, tranny, exhaust downpipe to the cat, axles, shift linkage, etc. i was thinking the guy could pallet it and strap it down good and maybe freight smaller stuff in boxes. is that the best idea? thanks in advance for any help
