Good luck lol. I dunno how you plan to swap the engine on an electric car considering it's missing literally all of the parts required to make an combustion engine work, but good luck.

I think it's just a joke.

The car will still run on electricity. The diesel engine will be mounted in the back to top up the battery, and for rolling coal.

Didn’t they try something similar in a 1980’s three part documentary about a time machine?

That was so clearly faked, there was a huge train pushing it the whole time!

They're not. It's Boostedboiz on youtube. The engine is for the dodge next to it. It's totaled, but they're trying to get it working. They took a plaid and put a Honda Odyssey body on it too.
