**DO NOT MENTION that it is a USED engine.** If You do it requires ALOT more clearance & money. Oil, Coolant, Gas are considered hazardous materials to ship. List it as a rebuilt, reman, new, new old stock, etc.
There is a guy on another local forum that works fedex, he can ship for 50% + tip. I’ve used him for a few things. Assuming the Honda engine is small enough & light enough, You should be able to Fedex Ground (as much as I hate fedex). Get ahold of IMEHHEMI on barf. Cool guy.
There are a few others on both boards that have a similar deal, but they like to threaten lives and shit.
FWIW, if You have to go freight - I recently had a 270 lb NOS motor freighted from CA to DjNick’s shop. Cost me $110.

edit - NOS as in New Old Stock
