If you find you want to ship your block to a shop in say Arizona or ??? you might check with your closest Fastenal store. They have a regional centralized shipping system to keep their stores stocked, and they're mostly lightly loaded, with lots of room open on the trucks. You have to pack your item for loading, and any crating is up to you, but a friend needed to get a differential to a buddy and he strapped it to a salvaged pallet, carried it to the Fastenal and they shipped it to another store for a whole lot less than the LTL Freight companies were quoting. Just a thought....
