I recently sold a subframe that had to be delivered to the buyer, because most refused to pay shipping costs. The Rotisserie (Weight was 460lbs) that I sold was picked up by the buyer, but people were shocked at the costs for me to ship these items.
As for the wiring and accessories, then I would suggest getting a harness from Speartech or Ironworks. Ironworks is nice because of the canon plugs. Every engine that I replaced, I tend to buy new accessories.

Thanks, I'll probably give them a call at some point. I understand about the shipping, but I've ordered and shipped other heavy/large items (including a motor) and it's still been a better deal. Some of these places think they're selling gold plated parts. The last time I checked for a used T-56 it was in the $2000 range for a 98-2000 F-body unit.
