You replied to my thread, I have one, $200+shipping. Greyhound would be right about $100 feel free to get quotes or suggest shipping options.

Guys, I may be sticking my nose in somewhere it doesn't belong, but I just ran the numbers through the USPS calculator and it looks like this:

Zip: 34208 to 77380
Package dimensions: 20X14X8
Weight: 35 lbs

Priority mail (2 days) $50.20
Parcel Post (6 days) $24.43

That's a head without cams and bearing ledges which according to my bathroom scales weighs 31.5 lbs; I rounded up to 35 lbs for packaging.

This head is complete, fully assembled sans cam gears. I'm not taking it apart. I have no clue about shipping this sort of thing though so if the interested party does get with me it will give us some options for flexibility. I guessed this as much heavier than 35 lbs as sits. It has to weigh 50 minimum, and packaging will put it over those dimensions. I have to be realistic as a seller.
