Or would like to know cheapest way to ship it (ups appears cheaper then con-way).

Try USPS. I found them to be less expensive than UPS when I was planning on shipping my heads to Florida and back. JMHO

 

Nothing over 70lbs allowed by usps.

UPS will accept packages up to 150lbs, but a trans would ship better on a truck. The price you are getting from con-way is their full rate, you need to find someone that has a contract/discount with them. For example, where I work we get about 66% discount with conway. Think where your friends and family members works, chances are that one of them works in a warehouse or a small business that uses conway or a comparable truck line.

 

I work for UPS and I've seen a transmission or two come by in my time..however they were always strapped very securely to (small) pallets. As long as the entire thing with the pallet weighs less than 150 pounds, it can go.

 

Check with Roadway Express INC. I had a trans shipped through them (frieght). It was for a 93 cavalier (190lbs) and I only paid $25. The company that sent it to me paid $25. It was shipped on a pallet to my house.
