Willys EV

[benjeep]

The project involves replacing the gasoline engine of a vehicle by an electric motor.

The vehicle.
Bady: 1946 Willys
Frame: Jeep CJ5
Transmission: 3 speed
Differential: Dana 30 front, 44 rear Dane

Engine 304 ... in the trash.

If all goes well it should look like this.

The tub is hooked to the ceiling and the mechanical is out.

First inspection on the frame. Everything is ok

The construction of this trailer is here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38175

Is your goal to retain the T90/Dana18 and 4wd?

You will have a lot of loses through that drivetrain, particularly the Dana 18. I'd suggest looking at a different drivetrain from a modern vehicle. TJ and late model XJ use the new involute tooth profile and have smaller parasitic loses. Also, when in 2WD they are direct drive - you do not have further loses as the power flow goes through a bunch of gears when in 2WD like in the Dana 18. Also means swapping the rear axle to a centered rear output. IIRC Toyota mini-truck is approximately the right width and is more efficient wrt parasitic losses.
