Probally… it’s only the same as engaging an overdrive

To what end?
Can't imagine it being very efficient.
You need to find out what power the pto can handle, doubt it is much.

Interesting idea. Presuming you're keeping the V8 and main box ?
Purely as a vapour build:
You'd need an overdrive type way of splitting the gear on main shaft that drives the intermediate shaft.
An old overdrive could be repurposed, with the syncro and layshaft ditched.
Tig a mounting plate to it, somehow, and an electric interlock.
Or, as an alternative, ditch the gear box, use an lt230, and power the electric motor from the 24V alternator. V8, electric motor, lt230.

that wouldnt produce enough power? just connect v8 direct to lt320
surely high power/torque going the 'wrong way' would just make things explode?
everything in the transmission is designed from the ground up to transmit power in one direction, ie from the engine to the prop-shafts/PTO? taper bearings, endfloat etc would all be upside down?

assume that is output

Over drive copes with full output of the V8.

Does it say 'B' hp? As in Brake. On a tractor the PTO is often rated in Shp (Shaft), which is something different to Bhp. I'm not sure how you could regulate power 'to' the PTO in any sort of accurate or even blinding guessing sense.
The PTO would need to drive a alternator/generator to charge the batteries to run the motor.
No expert but presume it would need a speed controller also.

i thought the discussion was using the PTO as an input rather than an output?
I would guess it means it could drive something that takes between 20 and 25 hp to drive it maximum
If I remember correctly some of the land rovers you could get governors for them
Ah my bad. I read it as using the PTO to drive a motor to propel the vehicle.
Presumably the drive train is disengaged when the PTO is selected?
