I know it's no longer available; so I'm looking for a used book; or if someone is willing to share...

Have you tried Renegade Hybrids?

You should just read some threads with the "search" function, and ask questions to those who have done it before. I suggest you start a thread and ask your first question, then many more.

unless you want to do some sort of never-done-before v8 conversion,

you can one stop shop for just about everything you need at

http://www.renegadehybrids.com/

you will need two kits - conversion kit and cooling kit = $3000 or so.

do not ignore your suspension or brake systems = see eric shea.
