Even freebie stovebolt engines couldn't lure me back to California! I left in 1980 and vowed never to return. Do they have Fastenal stores out there? They ship palletized freight from store to store with their own trucking company, Blue Lane Freight.

I found out when trying to ship an engine via BlueLane that they divide the country into two zones; separated at the Rockies. They will not ship from zone 2 (west) to zone 1.
