Here's a recommendation nerd, kill yourself

Ask /cgl/
They'll be able to make an engine out of pvc pipe and spray paint

You'd probably have to build it on an existing EV chassis because i dont see how you'd make one from scratch.

Find some junker prius and buy new batteries ($1k-$3k) then do your fabrication around it however you see fit.

I mean I could do that but which car would I go with that isn't a tesla. I keep hitting results about some fag whos rigging a battery from some heavy machinery or bulldozers

There are tons of kits for converting driveline components to work with electric motors.

What are you basing the vehicle on? Are you staying with an existing car, or building a bespoke chassis, or what?

I wanted to figure out what engine I was going to build around before building a chassis, or converting an existing one from some car. It depends on which one I choose and how it'll fit with the design of it

OP here finished my project I think it looks pret good. All electric too so it's good for the 'ment (that's how cool guys like me say "environment")

Get an engine with a power turbine and use it to power a generator which you will then use to power the 4 independent motors in each wheel.
I'll leave the computer control and chassis design to you.
And don't forget the Tesla batteries!

Step one:
