Yes I think that would be even lighter with the alum heads, plus it looks like you have no front bumper and brackets, that alot of added weight, but otherwise you have all the typical sheetmetal of a 55-59 3100 truck yes?
I would think you could go a little lighter - The QA1 guy was basing it off a Gen 2 Camaro at 3780 lbs total with 60% on the front end. So thats about 2200 lbs and he recommended the 350 with SBC and 550 for a BBC to me.
