Warp 8 Motor Arrives
The electric motor, a NetGain Warp 8 motor arrived at the school. The motor will be integrated into the vehicle via an adapter plate that will attach the electric motor to the manual transmission. Students begin pulling the engine to make room for the electric motor.
As of 2:15 Feb 11, 2011 The engine and transaxle are out of the vehicle. Our goal is to have the engine separated from transaxle on Monday and start the cleaning process.
How did you select the motor for this project? I have been considering converting an X/19 as well and am very interested to see the results. What will you be using for a heater?

Not considered the heater yet but we may decided to set up an electric ceramic heater that would run via a electric heating element and a dc fan.
