Any Michigan guys making a trip south

I'm possibly buying an engine basically complete from a guy in Warren MI. I'm in MO, so I can't drive the 673 miles to pick it up, and I imagine freight charges will be ridiculous. So if any of you MI guys are traveling south any time soon, and have room in the bed of a truck for an engine, please e-mail me at blackwelljp@umsystem.edu. I can compensate you for the time, I'm sure it's cheaper than paying UPS.

Thanks,
Josh
