Hi,
There's a Packard Twelve engine block for sale at a very low price in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. I tried to buy it as a spare for my Twelve restoration project but I can't find a reasonably-priced way to ship it to my place. So I thought I'd mention it here in the hopes that someone else can save it.

If you have Fastenal in your area and the shipping area, they have a 3rd party logistics branch that ships stuff like this. I had a 1933 Pierce Arrow rear axle shipped from California to Atlanta for $150. You have to drop it off at a Fastenal store and the shipping end and pick it up at one on the receiving end. They are more worried about size than weight.

Hi, and thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out. I vaguely know that Fastenal does shipping, although I didn't think of it. I'm also not sure if they do it in Canada, but that's easy enough to find out. I have a branch near me and Winnipeg is a big enough city I'm sure the seller will too.
