Sure, but the "E" is for electronic, so you have to have a computer controlling it. Now, I'm no expert, but my understanding is that you'd probably have to go the hard way and get one from a junked GM truck and graft it in (running on 12V), or get the controller from a newer HMMWV, I guess. Then, bypass the governor somehow to get over 73??? Or is that an RPM governed speed?
Has anyone on the list done a swap like this?? Sounds pretty cool.
