Does anyone have any info on electric motors for cars. Since I can't get gasoline any more the only option I have is running electric motor. Seems to be an easy swap, using flywheels/trans bellhousing bolt pattern to hook up to the trans and viola. You can probably produce more horsepower off of DC power too!

 

are you serious?

 

And what do you plan to use for electricity?

 

Ummm Batteries! Run a couple in series with storage capacitors just like I did with my stereo back in the day. I should be able to gut my block and fit an electric motor in it, welding the chopped cranks rear on the unit, then using the stock flywheel and bolting it up to the bellhousing. Viola, a six speed electric car.

 

Its in the works right now. I just need to find out about throttle control and how many batteries to run in series to produce around four hundered horsepower. Should be a simple swap!

 

I have been waiting for a crank for a month and then they sent the wrong one so I say screw it I'm going electric.

 

you wanna do an electric swap?lotus has one and it is quick up to like 120 but it will only stay charged for like 3hrs then you have to charge it for 12hrs its pointless.

 

Na, I am going to let my Z-28 rust into a pile of iron and maybe smash it with some heavy equipment and then go buy a Nissan Leaf!

 

wow...i didn't even see this thread...i'm now, more convinced than ever, that you're a pure troll

 

lmao .

Im gonna build a supercharged electric lawnmower, 750hp, 0-AWESOME in about 2.4 seconds
