Didn't you make a run to ND relating to one of your sons a year or so back?
Why not make a run to get the motor and haul it home yourself?
All you need is a vehicle with a hitch and a trailer. Buy or rent a
trailer, or rent a van or pickup and go get it.
Or, am I way off in thinking that the engine from the "police car" that
is so rusty could be swapped into the other car that needs the engine?

Depends on purchase price. Should be able to ship to the shop on a pallet for
around $500. OM 617 turbo, not aspirated.
UPS freight will come over and crate it up, then send it to my indy for us.
Crated it becomes class 70, cheaper. On a pallet, skid it is class 85, more
dollars. It would need to be fully drained of fluids and have a goodly diaper
in case anything drips. The engine would want to be supported on the mounts,
not the oil pan. Some advice was to build up something to bolt the engine
down, as well as strap the heck out of it.
