Best way to ship a head?
I was wondering what you guys thought the best way to ship a head would be. I was told a rubbermaid container would be alright but I was a bit weary of this suggestion. It's a b16 head with intake manifold and I will be shipping UPS. Thanks for the help

Seriously....When I shipped a H23 head out I fabricated a wooden box with foam inside. Shipping was like 20 or 30 dollars.

wooden box is safest. padded head in rubbermaid has also been time proven safe. to be honest, your best bet is just to make sure its padded enough and you should be fine.

it is a lot. its the wieght. 20 or 30 is really cheap. and yes. rubbermaids get used everyday. engine parts used to arrive at abacus all the time just make sure you use enough duct tape.

I paid $65ish with FEDEX, I just filled a cardboard box with peanuts and threw everything inside, exhaust mani, intake mani, ECU, valve cover, studs, gasket, etc. I didn't get any complaints...
