Forget that LS swap and go for a Tesla drive unit that bolts up to a small-block V-8's mounts from EV West and Revolt Systems.

The term"crate engine" has long been used to describe engines you could buy and install in the car or project of your choosing. Why the name, though? Because the engines ship in crates. Often, the word"engine" is used interchangeably with the word"motor," a casual oversight of the distinction between an internal-combustion engine and a motor, which we typically use to describe an electric power source. Until now.

The so-called Revolt Tesla Crate Motor appears to come with the electric motor from a Tesla, an inline gear reduction where a traditional transmission would bolt up behind an engine, and a universal joint waiting to be fixed to a driveshaft. As with EV West's other available motor kits and such , the battery and control unit for the setup appears to be sold separately, and all of the components will be available individually.

People criticizing for a swap with more power and less weight. Remember when rodding was about getting the best performance regardless of the solution?

You and your publication should be ashamed and publicly humiliated for this.
