I used a Dakota with a 3.9L in it for a long time. If you keep the weight distributed, you could get a lot on there.

It looks like your trailer also has stake pockets if needed- that sounds like a winning setup to me!
I bought some 2x4's so I can make removable sides for that trailer, the decking is pretty beat up too (one plank is rotting) but I'm probably gonna throw some pressure treated plywood over the existing decking and screw it down with self-tapping screws into the cross-members of the trailer since replacing the decking would probably require cutting the carriage bolts/nuts that hold it down, which are pretty rusted to hell and probably won't come off any other way. It's an old trailer, probably at least 20+ years old but for $150 bucks it was money well spent I think. Kinda funny that the NYS DMV assigned a 2013 (when I initially registered it) model year to that trailer even though it's obviously ALOT older than that, but when you register a trailer as homemade they just simply assign whatever the year it was registered in as the M/Y.
