9.0L...I wonder how big the engine is and how much it weighs.

I think its somewhere around 700lbs. You can see at SEMA this week.

MM engine

Short blurb in 2/2014 Hot Rod on it. 9.0L Quad Cam 4 valves per cylinder. 552CI engines offered in 3 trim levels: 1100HP, 1350HP & 1650HP.
Price (are you ready for this?): $65,000 estimated for the 1100HP version. That's 3 times the price of my first house!
