They also bolted that GM transmission to the Durango/Aspen Hemi which means there are parts that will put it anywhere a Chrysler torqueflight one lived as well.

This mild hybrid system is a valid concept for custom hot rod cars and further opens the door to another class of vehicle owner to a new way of more efficient thinking. I hope he sells of few. These guys spend $50,000 on these cars anyway so the added cost isn't as big a deterent. And something like this could put your car over the top as a show winner.

That's how I see it. The goal here is something that bolts on and doesn't rob any power, and it's pretty neat for what it is!

Still think it should be direct drive off the crankshaft and stuck through an empty Model-T radiator shell.
