Suggested Block Packaging Instructions
  • 1. Strip Block of all bolt on/bolt in items except water plug. Remove all head studs if equipped, external studs that stick out, and all sensors & senders. We will NOT be held responsible for lost bolt-on items that have to be removed for machining purposes. There will be an additional charge of $50.00 for removal. Degrease block and clean, so there is no dripping oil.

  • 2. Use a 18" x 18" x 15" Heavy Duty Box for shipping. These boxes can usually be purchased from the UPS Store or U-Haul fairly cheap. Cut 2 pieces of thin plywood to fit the box opening. ( 17 1/4" x 17 1/4" )

  • 3. Place 1 piece of wood in bottom of carton.

  • 4. Place 3 inches of bubble wrap on top of wood.

  • 5. Place block on packing material - crank end down against piece of wood.

  • 6. Pack bubble wrap, NOT PACKING POPCORN/PEANUTS, firmly between block and carton with 3 inches on top.

  • 7. Place second piece of plywood on top.

  • 8. Pack more bubble wrap on top of plywood, so there is no movement when box is sealed shut.

  • 9. Please print and fill out our BLOCK SLEEVING CUSTOMER INFO FORM and put in Box.

    • PLEASE DO NOT USE PACKING POPCORN/PEANUTS - it breaks down and doesn't provide any support for the block. It will also get into oil and coolant passages. If this happens we will charge an additional $25.00 Fee. Please insure your package. We are NOT responsible for any damage during shipping of your block to our facility. We will insure your block when it leaves our shop.
