That looks like a later Solectria (Azure) Force or similar car transaxle. It might be possible to adapt it to an S10, but I'm not so sure it could handle the S10's weight. > Most AC electric motors can spin much faster than typical ICEs do. > 12,000 RPM is not unusual. The smaller Brusa/Solectria motors of the 1990s (AC12 and ACgtx20) were red- lined at exactly that, 12k RPM. The larger and heavier AC30 was red-lined at 9500 RPM. The early cars used a cogged belt drive for a more modest gearbox input with high motor RPM. Later cars drove the transaxle directly. I don't know much about the S10s, but I vaguely remember seeing pictures of a belt drive to the rear axle from (I think) 2 motors and 2 inverters.
