Man, that sucks! Sometimes I think freight companies think that Fragile is Italian for "Throw Hard Against Side of Truck!"
I think @R3cord303 had a similar issue where a guy kaboobed his new motor with a fork truck when they were unloading it.

They should've crated it. Machine shop near me has a guy whose sole job is to build crates to pack up the stuff they ship out. Cheap insurance and keeps customers happy.

Yup. Someone ran a forklift fork into mine.
No crate is gonna stop the forks of a forklift!

What if its just a really big crate?

Correct, but it should change the way a forklift operator approaches the load to be lifted.
Fixed it. Idiots can’t be helped lol.

Why wouldn't a built motor such as this be in a crate?

Replied before seeing James' and your later replies.

To say I was ready to thrash getting that fker in may be an understatement...
New front cover, rear cover, crank pulley, arp goodies, harness for ls2 cam sensor(stock vvt is 5 pin), bunch of tube nuts and sleeves for some hardline stuff-heads have a 6an (3/8) oring boss so I grabbed some 90s, tees, cross

New water pump-had mine off thought was fine but one day went to spin it for whatever reason and it would hardly spin. New starter and bolts, old one busted when it went boom. Some 6an ptfe hose and fittings- may redo trans cooler lines, heard some horror stories and may need a little for stock fuel lines (may redo also)

I was finally sick of all the rusty, oily, cruded up parts... luckily most of them needed to be replaced anyway
Salted road life.
I have a pile of new accessories I need to install to freshen up things. Then oil pan gasket, rear main seal, transfer case rebuild.. ****.
Can't wait to see yours done
