I have a 97 Eclipse with a dead engine. I was wondering whether it would be suitable for an EV conversion and where to get information on specs and whatnot for converting it. I've seen other eclipse conversions, but they've all been the prior gen car types. Does it matter that it's an automatic? And, I have a low budget. My husband certainly wouldn't agree to a multi-thousand conversion when the car is "worth" only a thousand(if that). He's pretty car handy, so I might be able to pursuade him to help on the conversion. He's more into B-body wagons right now though. At least we have most of the tools, except for a engine hoist.

Anybody in S Florida?
