After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

Yep, solar cells would work, if you only drove it once a week. Large panels and a charging/storage station at home make more sense. They're much more efficient when they're angled correctly to the sun. You could add a small gas powered generator, but it would not keep up with the draw. It would replace some battery weight and provide an additional charging source though. I can't wait 'til we can all convert our cars to hydrogen. It's a great way to store energy. Simple, relatively low cost for conversion. You can use wind, solar, geo-thermal, or any source you care to name, to make electricity and produce hydrogen from plain old water. Burn it, and it turns back into plain old water. There's even a, very safe, solid storage system available. The Governator has the right idea. He had his Hummer converted. Now all we need is distribution (pumps at the gas stations). Screw foreign oil!
