Bob,
Someone down-under had a similar idea. Dunno if it'll go as fast/far as what you're working on...

update cant drive in first gear just burns the tires , 0 to 40 in second about 3 sec in third gear 0 to 60 7 sec in forth gear 0 to 60 14 sec top speed is around 85 and thisis froma "small" ac 31 motor . diffrent type of acceleration just picks up and goes no delay while the engine and clutch get wound up.
They are torque monsters.

I just finished a electric conversion of a fiberglass 29 kit car on a vw chassis , put in a 72 hp ac motor and a 17 kw 96 volt battery pack from a new wrecked chevy volt. goes like stink very light weight , you leave it in third to drive around should get 85 mph top speed ( car is not aerodymanic has big frontal wings ) and 60 to 70 mile range
0 to 60 times is in the 6 sec mark.
the moke look alike will a be an all aluminum version ( live by the salt sea so rust a problem) rear wheel drive and slightly wider will have a hard top of solar panels ( yes not enough to drive off but extends the milage) it will be only a 2 seater , batteries goes in the front and rear seat area . should be fun to make and drive here in the bahamas
