Thanks for the tip. That expands my options a bit....

Y'all are right about freight being an issue. But, I'm banking on a quality rebuild shipped on a container being cheaper (and less of a hassle) overall. Maybe... Hopefully.
You are talking an engine that has been known to kill an engine stand or two.

I'd say estimate 1000 pounds for engine and crate.
Weight of the engine/motor alone, according to Jolly's data:
305A = 738 lbs.
305B = 771 lbs.
305C = 840 lbs.
305E = 795 lbs.
351 = 860 lbs.
401 = 880 lbs.
478 = 925 lbs.
702 = 1485 lbs.
637 = 1219 lbs.
Then add crating.

As pointed out, 1960-1974 305 & 351
But also since you already have one in your vehicle, and thus the physical mounts aren't a concern (the metal mountings, not the rubber part although those are always a concern) you can also look for one out of any truck size. The 305 was available up through at least the 5500 series, and as far as I know the same holds true for the 351s as well. The mounting in the bigger trucks is typically at the front of the engine and the mounts on the bell housing, as opposed to the pickups where the mounts are on the sides of the engine and the bell housing.
