Size wise they're a bit bigger than a SBC, weight wise its round 800lbs, say around 200lbs heavier than an iron block SBC. less if you factor in a blower or turbo components. Still its a heavy motor. But if you want a wow factor imagine a 600-800hp, 1200+lb-ft car in the 3000lb range. For the chassis, its more up in the air. You'd want something with a large engine bay and a strong frame/unibody. It might be a project for something more along the lines of a older Camaro. But there have been people that swapped them in C3 vettes.

How about a bio diesel Duramax in a Gen 2 F Body? That could be interesting and we could simultaneously explore the world of making our own fuel of leftover cooking grease, etc.
Any idea what these motors go for used in good condition?
