I still have my fingers crossed that one day someone will build an electric drivetrain for a very common engine design (akin to how people put bigger engines from bolt compatible vehicles into smaller ones so they go faster), and for iconic vehicles so that we can keep them on the road. There are plenty of collectible cars out there that already lack matching serial numbers. Swapping the engine on those is no great sin against history.



Cool. I knew someone who was putting a Porsche engine into a VW, because it required very few modifications to get it to work. I suspect it's not an accident how many of the kits here are for Porsche or VW?
