I can see the appeal of that hybrid idea, but the real challenge is keeping the soul of a V8 alive while swapping in an electric drivetrain. Maybe start with a retro body and a silent motor that still lets the engine roar in the memories. The resale curve could get a boost if you make it feel like a classic upgrade rather than a half‑baked remix. Just remember the battery packs are heavy, so balance is key. Good luck, and keep the grease on your hands.
