So pumped. Was considering an LS swap, but decided to go this route. No more shaking my teeth out at the stop lights, obnoxious fuel smell, or annoying exhaust. Should make more torque than the original Ram Air II that's in it now! Already removed the tired 400 and junked it, so motivated to get this in.

I'm thinking I recall reading somewhere about 8-10 years ago where an electrical engineer dropped in an electric motor in his fgf.
Can't find anything about it now though. I always wondered how that went and how it worked out for him.
I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe. 1968 400 convertible (Scarlet) 1976 T/A - 455 LE (No Burt) 1976 T/A New baby, starting full restoration. 1968 350 - 4 speed 'vert - 400 clone (the Beast!) 1968 350 convertible - Wife's car now- 400 clone (Aleutian Blue) (Blue Angel) 2008 Durango - DD 2008 GXP - New one from NH is AWESOME! 2017 Durango Citadel - Modern is nice!

You should save a lot of money on gas too. If the numbers I read are correct, with only a $50k cost for the motor, batteries and other stuff the conversion should break even in no time.

I’m still trying to understand if this is a joke. He pulled a Ram Air II motor and junked it.

I’ll admit you had me until I saw the Ram Air comment. I’m in the middle of testing and completely lost track of days.
