 I've shipped two this year (WA to FL). Plastic bucket, Pile-O- Shop Rags in the bottom to soften the ring gear on a cushion of rags, place plastic bucket inside a steel bucket of similar size, cover top and bottom with wood or whatever is handy that is stiff and supportive, stick a GOOD label on BOTH buckets, then wrap the entire mess in cardboard, tape well, add 3rd label to cardboard. Both made it with zero issues, FED EX Ground was cheapest.

I used a milk crate zip tied it in there,the yoke poked up out of the corner a little I wraped it in plastic shrink wrap and cut a cardboard box up and taped it all around it stuck the addy on a sent it to ARK...cost about 40 bucks should have seen the ups lady throw it over her head on to a slid table to go out to the warehouse   the 2 liter bolt holders work good for pistons and rods storage also,they come with 8 holes

80 plus pound and you shipped it for 40 bucks must have been 1970

 Worst thing to get is something packed with loose newspaper come to your door.  Make sure there is no movement in the container you are using after packing. remember... NO MOVEMENT IN THE BOX!

Here's a novel idea, let's not throw a bunch of parts at the car hoping it will fix the problem and instead spend a little time diagnosing it first.
Life was a little easier when I was just a wrench.

I shipped one up to ID. Went to Wallymart, bought a plastic cooler ($15 bucks?). Sat inside just perfect. Zipped tied lid down. Slapped the label on it. Worked excellent. Beats fartin around.
