We have already thinking of an upgrade

It`s more than enough room for a Viper V10 Srt10 engine

but we have to get to drive this beast first...

Aluminum Block LS Engines are under 450lbs fully assembled with accessories. That's the number I've heard many times.

450lbs ~ 205 kg.. ;-). The car itselfe cleen its ca 300kg. 4 man carry the car on the trailer ( 75kg pr man ) so 300kg car + 205kg engine 505kg. So its 500kg for suspension ++ all the extra Stuff .. I Think we can come under 1000kg.
