I know for a face you can ship the assembled short block in one box on Fedex ground - it comes in just under 150lbs (the max) - its like $80ish

I can 100% confirm this, other than cost. I work for FedEx Ground and the max limit is 150lbs. We do get quite a few GM transmissions 100+lbs through our facility.
