Some questions. BUYING an electric motor may not be too far out of the range of feasible. HOW MUCH Horse Power do I need? How do I even figure this out? I see even 50 and 60hp electric motors for under $500 !! thats a lot of money More than I have but maybe in a few months I could scrounge it up.

WHAT type of Horse Power do I need? How do I figure it out? Vehicle mass 3700 pounds.
