Hard pass. Kills the “classic” part of Classic.

Ford already tried that with an electric crate motor a couple of years ago. They announced it with some of the fanfare they did with the Lightning. They showed it off by putting it in a 1978 F-100 truck.
But I've heard of no one actually doing it.

BS.
Ruins the classics and any vehicle, with electric crap.

I for one look forward to our new hyper electrified vehicles with built in car thief electrocution and road rage rudeness lightening zappers.

I searched out an original 1952 Pontiac straight eight and a 1948 Plymouth flat six. Nothing can beat the sound and feel of the original engines. I don’t know what you’d have if you put in a battery and an electric motor.
Making an electric car is something that needs to be done from scratch. The battery is big and heavy and usually makes up the entire bottom of the car. There it lowers the center of gravity and adds to safety and maneuverability. Where would you put a thousand-pound battery in a car that weighs 2800 pounds? It would handle like a beast and be even more unsafe on the road. Oh, let’s not forget we need to really, really beef up the brakes.

For even thinking about doing that to an E-type, they should have a Tesla battery pack hooked up to their naughty bits.
To: Red Badger
Absolutely not. Just finishing putting a crate Coyote in my 1968 Ford XL.

Just... No.
Batteries are STUPID at our current tech level. Not to mention expensive and a hazard.

My Willys truck would have serious emotional issues if I did this. What would be next, painting it pink?

If you might be into conversion of classics to EV one of the very best options that has floated up is the fully unitized electric motor and axle. The whole power pack in one box. Just add batteries and controllers. I considered one for one of my classic trucks but that would be blasphemy. EV’s don’t have cam lope.

EVs, just say no. Expensive toys, bad for the environment and not ready when you need it.
