I have spoken to Jared and he is able to collect all the engines in the back of his ute and on a trailer if we can't figure something out.
We will have an engine crane if we are not strong enough to lift the engines off the back of the trailer when we get to his place.

Could get the pallet sent to my work , then I could split em up and deliver them - borrow Ryan's crane and my ute and father in laws trailer.
Marc yours will be the first to be done so your engine can go to the shed if you want.
Guys I don't mind using the ute for this I ask just you to pay for the diesel.

If you/your boss is happy for it to be delivered to your work that'd be awesome. I can give you $$ for the petrol and hassle.

If not, I can get it delivered to mine and we can pick the engines up from here when we're putting them in.

fyi Im currently looking @ storage places for my project + tools to work on, If I can find something suitable with space to store securely I'd be happy to let them sit there. If anyone knows of a garage or secure storage for $50/week close to my place, or on the way to the gold coast let me know

I would be happy to do it , will split em up on the Saturday the week when they arrive so they are only in shop for a few days. All you guys that own the motors organize between yourselfs what you want to do as you all will be helping on the day , starting at my work to split em up and following your own motors to unload them. I now have good ratchet straps to tie em in the ute and trailer, prob put em all in trailer with crane in ute tray. Let me know what you guys want to do .

Do we know if AQIS will want to look at the pallet? And if so will that muck around with the proposed delivery date of the 25th??

25th is ANZAC day so it's not gonna be then, that was more of a guesstimate. There's no way of telling whether AQIS will want to check it out until it's been customs cleared. I'll keep you all updated with what's happening with it.

Jared, if we get them delivered to your work and pick them up on the weekend (or potentially ANZAC day) That'd be awesome. I'm happy to help as much as I can.

Cool chewy , let us know what ya want to do with your stuff , might work out to drop yours on the way to somewhere else . Looks like it might be all day mission.

Marc was saying yours will be the first to go in whenever that works out to be. I have a corner work area set up in the shed ( Phil's car in the spot now ) so yours will be next to take up position , was thinkin off road on a Friday night back on road sat arvo Sunday morning - should only take about 6ish hours to do job. The shed is about 5 min from mine near the minden cross roads.

2 people should be able to lift an engine. Mat and I moved the BP around and on/off the stand and the FS's arent much heavier?

Let me know a day/time and I should be able to lend a hand. I also have an engine stand I no longer need. $90 and someone can have it
