Anyone have suggestions? I’m seeing coolers are common.
Things to do and not do?

I've used either a wooden box or heavy cardboard box and wrapped the engine in a couple of heavy garbage bags and then filled the space with some expanding foam, just be careful not to use too much. From what I've been told it's very easy to open as well.

Heavy plastic tote ,drill some holes through the lid and top of tote and zip tie shut.I also wedge pieces of foam all around it to keep from moving during shipping..The black and yellow totes at homedepot are pretty strong..

Some people wrap the motor in a garbage bag and then use low expansion spray foam to fill nooks and crannies to really lock it down.
