When I was first planning my Firebrid project, I considered dropping in the mild hybrid powertrain out of a Chevy Tahoe. However, a closer examination of that system demonstrated to me that the ease of installation of that system into the Firebird did not justify the marginal increase in mileage that would be realized. Soon after I determined this I also discovered how bad the floors and mechanicals were in the convertible, pointing me in the direction my project is now taking.(I also like the challenge my project presents.)
If you are looking for easy and lower cost, go the EV route.
