What is the 125kg include? Ask as I don't know. Things like wet or dry and the ancillaries.
Also gearbox can weigh alot. The only experience I have of gearbox replacement of a different but similar gearbox is a MK1 cortina to a lotus elan gearbox. We didn't weigh the two but took two and a gearbox jack to remove the cortina box and only one to fit the the lotus one.
Another of the advantages of a motorbike engine is a very compact so great for small engine spaces like motorbikes engined fiat 500 and fiat 126.
Also you can use the standard bike wiring and ECUs and there is a lot of tuning potential on the standard ECU.

Ahhhh gotcha. It's a really cool build, I like the hood that he's created, looks like a home made Spyder hood.
I used to have an EP3 Type R, and I have to say the K20 my favourite engine I've had in any car.
I'd absolutely love to drive something as light as this with a K20 that revs to 10k. After a little google search, a K20 is 125kg, quite light...
