Having the freight company pick up and delivered with a lift gate is the most expensive. You'll have to do some googling on where the freight companies are located in Buffalo and weigh your option on location vs price.
On another note, there's a 2003 2.7 I have my eye on. I should know something in a week, but don't wait on me to make a purchase.
Please keep me in the loop on that engine.

The guy called me on the week end and changed his quote to $445 CDN.
This is a lot more appealing to us.

I found an eng from Flat Rock Auto Parts in Murfreesboro TN..
Anybody ever have dealings with them? Any input Good or Bad!

Cheers!

In case you are still looking for a carrier, here's the one that I'm picking up my engine from. I have used them twice before, they have been reliable and competitively priced: R+L Carriers | Freight shipping and logistics company
