  800ft lbs of torque in the same space needed to stuff a SBC.

  
  

  This is going to become a thing.

  Yep, and promptly scatter the differential all over the street!

  Of course.  But if I can afford the motor I can afford the differential to handle it.

  "That leaves finding room for a battery as the main challenge for would-be EV crate motor converts."  Not just a 'battery' but several batteries and other electrical goodies.

  Same space as a fuel tank & you could put it anywhere to optimize performance.

  
  

  Imagine dropping 800ft lbs of torque into a Miata for SCCA racing...

  Might be easy on the drive train. Slow wind up, no shock I would think.

  What's the cost of one of these Dynamo's ?
  

  It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

  interesting for sure . I am sure it will be done many times over by the people  with large bank accounts and a high end shop doing the work 
   oh I did my share of engine swaps ( and sure more to come ) and most were as FCD  no where near nice conditions or tools .
   I am amazed at what the aftermarket has to offer but then again most is well beyond my meager budget for hot rodding

  I think I read in the link that they are $11,500. Batteries extra.

  Mike Brewer, the guy from Wheeler Dealers tv show, had a spin off show, where he'd go around & hang out with different kinds of car people.  
  One episode featured these guys who put electric motors from wrecked Teslas into classic cars.
  They told him they weren't going green;  they were going fast!
