Are you sure? Most Ford V8s come in at around 500 lbs.

My vehicle curb weight is 4,374 lbs with engine installed and 2,686 without it. You can subtract another 280 for the transmission for a non-mobile weight of 2,406.

With the additional equipment I've got atop the engine, the vehicle breaks 4,500.

I've got the scale and shop.
