Pretty cool, I'm also hoping to start an electric build in the near future so it'll be cool to see what you end up with. Have you also considered the Remy HVH250 motors? I haven't done a lot of research on them, but it seems like they could be a good motor for a custom build as well. For mine I'm looking at some of the HPEVS motors as they seem to be more of a plug-n-play type solution, which is great for me since all the electric stuff is new to me.
The trouble with that unit is that it requires an external coolant jacket that you'll have to build yourself. Some people are trying:

It's not a bad motor otherwise though, the HT high coolant flow variant could work for my front powertrain with a 2:1~3:1 diff.
