and lol@ the valve reliefs being caused by valves hitting the piston. no fucking engine in the world is going to cause perfect and identical reliefs into a piston if there is contact...and going that deep.
My spec-v pistons were the same way. They are just made like that.
UPS freight and fed ex both ship pallets, but i'd be suprised if you got them to do it for less than 150~

I am going off vague memory, but I've picked up the longblock, walked about 20 feet and put it in my FXT and being 3+ feet wide, it's fairly awkward. I can lift a fair amount, but my arm scale says 300 or so. This was a longblock complete with timing cover, oil pan, valve covers etc. No intake manifold.
