    No, but I have been thinking about the prospect of swapping the 3.5L for something a little more steam powered.

    Drop in two of these, one over each axle, you get AWD and can skip the driveshaft. I guess you’d need a really good ECM program though. Still cool.

    If I had the $, I would be willing to do an electric swap in my '40. 509ftlb of torque is nice, but that 800+ out of the electric kit would be interesting.
