Ford has a crate motor with similar horsepower to the 2.0L. I'm watching this space veeerrry closely!

I was perusing this morning and saw Electric GT has a V8 equivelant system for $65K.

And while the EV west system is like $15-20K, that's just the motor right? I'm wondering if the Electric GT system might actually not be that bad.

TBH I was thinking about my dream vehicle, a Scout on 33s, with an electric system instead of ICE, hence why I was googling this morning.

I’d happily do that conversion if it meant I could keep my Jeep going after the engine dies or petrol becomes insanely expensive.

Remember, you can put any engine in any car if you’ve got a big enough hammer and a big enough wallet.

This was a cool video about a Land Rover Defender getting the tesla motor kit:
Is that a 3/4 scale Defender? Maybe a remote control electric one
