Wondering if this would fit in place of the rear transaxle in my project Porsche 924. Put the batteries up front where the engine used to be. No torque tube required...

I wonder if Tesla "stick" batteries would fit on-edge in the tunnel.
This might be sacrilege, but I can see my MGA Coupe sitting on top of a scaled down ICON chaise. Yes, with tires that fit under the stock fenders!
Having the batteries look like a twin cam engine, priceless.
I would happily dump the low compression almost-malaise era 350 in my El Camino for an EV conversion kit. Call it the E-Camino. I would probably pay between $5-10k for a solid kit.

You are reading my mind except I have an 89 951

The filter is there for exactly why you think- Tesla's have them on their gearboxes too.
If by stick batteries, you mean the ones they did for Mercedes in the late 2000s? Probably, but I don't remember what they had for cooling and they're essentially outdated now; but there are tons of packs like the Lithium-Irons from buses that are thin slabs that are far more resistant to temperature.

I have what might be the perfect car for it. It is a Toyota MR2 Spyder that currently has a Yamaha engineered 2ZZ-GE swap in it. I could pull out that engine and then drop in this Yamaha unit, put in battery packs in the frunk and where the gas tank was as well as the extra space in the engine bay. Anyone want to finance me? LOL.
So pit stops are now going to be battery pack swaps and tires. No more fuel guy. Now they need a nerd with a soldering iron. Neato
