You would be probably be best to get it strapped down to a pallet and sent via courier. If you did that you would either need to have access to a forklift or order a tail lift truck (which usually costs extra). It may not be worth the expense of getting it transported up here vs finding one locally.

I have personally used www.smartsend.com.au to ship a set of rims and they were the cheapest i could find. I don't know how they would be for sending an engine though but you can do an online quote pretty easily but it's easy enough to check. Otherwise there are a few other different couriers able to find just by google searching.

Dont worry too much about weight as the go by cubic weight. A parcel I recently shipped was 60x50 40 and it had a cubic weight of something like 240KG.
