Shipping an engine long distance in the US?

What is a reasonably cost effective way to ship a complete iron head FF engine "core" from a residence to a residence long distance (maybe coast to coast in the US)? Assume that at my end a lift gate would be needed (no working engine hoist).



Engine is currently in an open steel frame 31x22x26 and probably weighs around 250 lbs max (haven't weighed it yet) in the frame.



What about insurance for the actual sale price?







Thanks!
