No more than 1200lbs (560 SEL vs heaviest 140)
The early 603.97 had 134 hp/229 ft-lbs, but then the later one that was in the 140s had 148hp/229 ft lbs. I guess with a nice axle ratio it could be reasonably quick

From what I hear, those .97s have some real nice low end power (was that you, Sixto?)
Babymog, I'd like to see what kind of power curve you can manage with that block/pump duo. You might have yourself one sweet diesel there, especially if you plan on maxing the pump's full load
