You can consider that an Alfa engine plus gearbox is more or less 190 /200 kg ( with starter motor ,alternator , Ac pump etc) , Fuel tank and pumps probably 10/12 kgs , exhaust system 20/25 kgs ( to be confirmed)
I'm wondering if anyone might know what a "roller" or chassis might weigh without the engine, exhaust and transmission. I know complete cars weigh approximately 1000kg, but don't know what a Lister Bell or Hawk replica might weigh just as the complete chassis.
I ask as I'm considering building a very fast electric car and weight is a real concern. I love the look of the kits I've seen here and am hoping to learn if a Stratos replica is the kit I should build with!

Do you have yet some drawings of what have to be installed as motor , trasmission , Battery etc to run electric ?
Well, I haven't begun working on anything in particular for a Stratos, but I can share some of the drawings we did when preparing my Porsche...
Of course, the build for the Stratos would entail a different setup, a different battery type along with different components selected for the specific task at hand along with the available space in the chassis. I would have to get my hands on some CAD designs or a car before I could select my actual components.
Here are some photos of the Porsche as to how it finished out:
