Very cool project. I have 15 years of R&D in Li-ion cells if you need any advice on other chemistries. And own a 78SC too. LiFePO4 is a good choice for power, safety and cycle-life. But not the highest energy density cathode. Maybe when time comes to replace them, there will be cheap batteries with NCM cathode, or high voltage spinel. Could your controller handle other chemistries? I cannot wait to see the results of your conversion. I am also curious about your old 3.0L engine. What shape was it in? How many miles on it? Are you selling it? (Mine needs a rebuild).
Cheers.
