What's your initial major materials cost not including welding and labor. I'm about to do a Chevy SBC 383 in a 1981 SC Targa with RH kit.
The quick answer is too much!!

I have $16k in batteries, $2k in motor and $3k in the controller. The charger, adaptor plate, and wiring and fuses are another couple of grand. It can be done cheaper, but until the batteries come down in price, electric will not be cost effective. But for me, price is not the primary goal.
