Electric Motor Mounting! (Jeep EV Conversion)

My name is Daniel and I am in the process of converting a 2001 Jeep Cherokee to electric. I hope to use this youtube channel to educate others on electric vehicles and inspire other students like myself to engage in engineering projects to support a greener world. If you're interested, come hang out!

    Hockey pucks make great engine mount replacements for very little money, and they can take a good beating. Love your project, best of luck!

    Yeah that mounting set up needs to be the mock up for a stronger set up. Think of the torque that’s going to be on that motor

    I would suggest building a big, triangular front plate that can tie into the stock engine mounts and the four mounting holes on the front of the motor. Kinda like whats in there now but one solid piece. Could probably run some box tubing on the top too for stiffening. What I have in mind is kinda like the mounts for a heavy duty diesel engine but at the front instead of at the bellhousing.

    Great videos so far! One suggestion for your motor mount woes; look up Shawn McCabe here on youtube. He doesn't have much but you can see his Cherokee has a really good solution for mounting the motor. I wouldn't follow his controller mounting method though, more airflow would be better for cooling. Best of luck and I look forward to seeing how this project turns out!

    Learning how to weld is easy and will come in super handy for fabrication work! You'll always need to mock up stuff like this anyways, so your current design can be used as a template for something more substantial. Awesome work nonetheless and I sub'd for future updates!

    It must have had the 0331 head. love this project though. My 98 XJ was wrecked when i purchased it and shes been going for 2 years now! i would love to gut my XJ and use her 4.0/aw4 for my YJ, and converting my XJ. The XJ is defiantly light enough for a DIY conversion. Maybe you could add rooftop solar for a slow trickle charge?

    I have a friend with an older(1997 TJ) Jeep and he wants to do this same type of conversation. If he does I'll 100% put it on my channel and include all the detail one would need to repeat the process. I'm hoping to find more details on what type of motor would be ideal for this type of converstion.

    The problem with converting gas to electric is there are so many accessories that are powered by the motor which includes vacuum systems power steering power brakes and air conditioning that you have to come up with an alternative source for making those work

    You're still in the 'proof of concept' and 'prototyping' phase of this project, it's only natural that your mounts will be a bit sketchy until you get your final positioning sorted and can get the custom parts fabricated for the final assembly.

    He isn't done with it yet. It looks like he intends to use the original transmission so it should shift similar to how it did when it was an internal combustion motor but you wouldn't have to worry about stalling it out :)
