Have any of you mailed a pair of SBF cylinder heads before? I went to the USPS website and saw that the max shipping weight is 70 pounds. Does a pair of SBF heads weigh less than that? If not, what's the best way to ship heads?

My cast iron 289 heads are 90lb for the pair. Only heads I ever had shipped were aluminum.

You can ship them seperately. Either that, or pay extra for an extra heavy item. UPS WILL ship up to 150lbs if you've got the cash.

Looks like UPS is the easiest way to go. Thanks for the help.

I shipped a tranny in a homemade full crate which weighted 150lbs. by UPS. It was expensive, and I shipped it to Ohio from BC Canada, but it is possible.

I shipped 351C heads via UPS from Las Vegas NV to Michigan ... Cost about $75.00 ... Went for the "Heavy" rate.

351w cast heads are 52lbs a piece.

I have sent 4 sets of heads thru USPS and they were all under $21.31 each. I just sold some 429SCJ heads complete and after packing, they were 66 pounds each and still only cost $23 each. US Postal Service will ship any package under 70 pounds and for heads, they are cheaper than FedX and UPS. Pack them individually and pack them well.

89 coupe ... I have been sending a lot of my ebay stuff through the "Post Office" lately ... I think they are cheaper than the other guys.

Hmmm ... Maybe that's why they are always claiming they are "Broke" and need to increase prices
