I hate youThis is quite shocking! Definitely can see this charging up the aftermarket, I'd say it's not worth resisting this technology,.
OHMan!!
Yeah an MT-82 modified to take an instantaneous 1000 lbf*ft.... I'd like to see how they accomplished that.I find it interesting that a lot of these electric concepts are coming with actual transmissions. There's a Mustang electric concept with a 6 speed manual, and this "E10" looks to have a 4L75e

My issue with crate motors and conversions is the power supply. I know a buddy who works for GM had to go to special training to work on their electric vehicles. The power they have can easily kill someone who isn't careful or who doesn't understand electricity or proper wiring.
In work in an automotive field. People hate testing electrical systems on cars. Even simple 1960 muscle cars. Because they don't understand electricity, wiring diagrams, and so on. Now swap a battery pack into a car that wasn't designed for one? People are going to end up dead. Especially ones who like to cut corners as it is.
The thing about EV car electricity is that it’s invisible and instantly deadly. People really don’t have experience with 300+ volts DC so they don’t know how deadly it is. Sure a gas fire is scary and you can get hurt, but people understand gasoline and can expect it to ignite. If you don’t understand that 300V DV will stop your heart in a thousandth of a second, you can’t prepare for it. And some people are arrogant about it thinking “well I shocked myself with the wall outlet at 120v so it can’t be that bad”.... well 300-400v DC isn’t like that bud, it just kills you, instantly. See above picture for my PPE 1000v rubber gloves with leather covers. I’m not scared of it but I sure as hell pay attention to what I’m doing

Well I’m not wearing my safety spectacles. Also notice the cones around the car and not In the picture is the fiberglass Shepard’s hook used to pull my charred body off the battery
