Nice, I have considered this, but I like my ol' 7M to much. I plan to do this to my lowrider though, I found a company that sells transmission adapters for a electric motor. The rest is pie, a few resistors, regulators, and adjustable transistors and it will work.

The only thing that is holding me back is the current battery technology, sure you can make a quick ars electric vehicle, but then your range goes down.

The was a car I saw recently that is called the Tesla Roadster, from Tesla Motors, its a electric car based on the Lotus chassis. They are using killer battery's, and a light car and they achieved over 200 miles to one charge, of coarse it had a $110,000 price tag.
