I'd like to see/hear that thing in person! I did some searching in google and I think he's using a 1963 Buick aluminum 215 ci V8. The complete motor weighs around 350lbs. Sound heavy??? It's not for a V8. An everyday cast iron Chevy small block motor complete I think is around 500lbs.

Actually, I thought that 350 or even 500 sounded light...I always expected engines to be 1000+ lbs...
