Default LS1 engine weight

Fully dressed LS1 inc flywheel & clutch is around 225kg - can be offset somewhat by re-locating the battery to the boot. Would like to know what a fully dressed YB weighs as a comparison.

whats wrong with ford's all alloy engine, a crate coyote 5.0 v8 pushes out well over 400hp has 4 valves per cylinder just like a cossie, for about Ł5k you can get engine plus a plug and play loom with ecu, high revving (7000rpm limit) and so tunable,

Ford Racing's all-aluminum 5.0L Mustang crate engine is a modern 5.0L 32-valve DOHC V-8 that uses advanced features like Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT) to deliver 420 horsepower @ 6500 rpm and 390 ft.-lb.+ of torque @ 4250 rpm (with premium fuel). The lightweight aluminum cylinder block features cross-bolted main bearing caps and thick main bearing bulkheads for bottom-end strength. Optimized oil drainback and windage control improve high-rpm performance
