electric thirdgen? EV info gathering
I was curious if anyone had ever seen a v6 thirdgen engine swapped to a DC electric motor.
I saw the s10 conversion kits and just wondered if anyone had tried it on a fbody.

Don't worry, I'm not planning one pulling my supercharged 350 out of my race car
But I was thinking a 2.8 (135hp) would draw a crowd at a car show as a EV with ~100hp

Re: electric thirdgen? EV info gathering
could be interesting, but these cars are a bit on the heavy side. couple that with the weight of all the necessary batteries, you're gonna need more than the 100hp to get that car moving. But, if you can find a bigger motor, it may be pretty cool to be able to pass the gas station every day on the way to work
