Think about taking out the existing engine & tranny and boxing it up. Instal=
l the new electric motor in the tranny well and the batteries in the engine c=
ompartment. It has no clutch and he=E2=80=99ll save the world. Plus it could=
 be a rocket ship. 50 years from now, the next guy will put the 250 engine b=
ack in.=20
