Has anything interesting come of this project?
An EAA member in Minnesota got a wild hair up his butt and decided he wants to convert a Matrix and go on road trips.

The idea thats been rattling around my noggin is to belt a Saturn L24 Z-block to an industrial motor and rectify the current. The contraption could ride on a cheap boat trailer.
How should we control the generator's voltage output, and how do we start the engine without a transmission?
