    Hybrid 101?

    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...
