How do I ship a motor?

Well, after looking at the “How do I ship a tranny” thread, i figured I’d ask the other big question: How do I ship a motor?

I am getting ready to sell my 3.8L SC motor out of a 94 bonneville and I have already had interest in it, but everyone who is would require shipping it. I was hesitant about doing it, but I figured I would see is someone can tell me how they’ve done it and maybe I can offer to ship it. It is currently on a stand now, and I believe it is drained completely, but will check on that.

I have access to a pallet and also can ship it from work (loading dock). Just basically need to know how to secure it and cover it.

Any suggestions?
