For something that big and heavy, you might be better off searching craigslist. Use "lt1" as your search query, and branch out from your home city, as far as, your willing to drive to pick it up. On the other hand, you might be able to get someone selling to deliver. I bought my lt1 from 200 miles away and had it delivered.
Another option would be Car-Part.com--Used Auto Parts Market This is a salvage yard search engine where you can search your state, region, or even the whole country. Since all these yards ship engines on a regular basis, you will probably be able to get a better deal on shipping than with a private party.
