Build a wooden crate box and bolt it to it

I once shipped an engine block in a DeWalt air compressor box. I cut a pice if MDF exactly to the inside dimensions of the box and bolted the block to it, dropped it in, and put another piece of MDF on top. Made it halfway across the country safely. I think the key here is to secure it, don't rely on cardboard and foam or bubble wrap alone.

Ended up going with a heavy duty plastic storage container the shop already had. Worked perfectly!!
