Hybrid conversion alternator? (lemmy.world)

I have an old v8 laying around that’s not very useful to me. Is there a company that sells conversion kits that replace the alternator and starter with an EV motor? I can’t seem to find one.

Edit: like this:

The belt for the etorque is pretty tame compared to some supercharger setups I’ve seen. Its packaging is about as much as an old a/c compressor.

Crank pulley setups are easy and common to replace or retrofit.

I’m familiar with what you’re talking about and don’t see the issue.

Have you ever retrofit anything to an engine?
