convert car from petrol to full electric?
hello i am interested if into if there is a uk company that converts cars from petrol engines to electric motor engines. because i have a near me a old jag in a scrap yard near me which is structurally sound but has a nackerd petrol engine in it. so i thought it may be possible to take out the old engine and put a electric motor in it. i know it would be possible but i dont have the technical no how to do it. it just seems such a shame to let such a beautiful old car die

You might check out http://www.lindsaybks.com See if they ship books overseas. They might ship to US military base PO boxes.
Their latest catalog had a number of books you might find useful,
"Convert It"
"Building a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle from the ground up"
"Build Your Own Electric Vehicle - 2nd Edition"
Thing is if you are not doing the work and expect someone else to do it- you might do well to simply the Jag and and a remanufactured engine for far less.
