I am working on a project to convert my truck into a hybrid while not losing performance. The plan is to use the 350ci engine to run a generator to charge the batteries and to provide power to the two electric motors. I'm looking for a system similar to the Fisker Karma, where it can be run on just the batteries or just the generator power. The two motors I have picked out operate at 72-125 volts AC and 100-700 amps. my intention is to remove the transmission and transfer case from my truck and connect the generator to the engine in its place. The electric motors would then connect to the differentials via drive shafts. I'm assuming that the engine will be sufficient to run the generator since I'm not really increasing the horsepower of the vehicle.
