I picked up a written off Mitsubishi i-Miev and plan on transplanting all the running gear, batteries, air-con etc into my 1965 Mk1 Cortina 440.
I'll post some pics of the progress here. I welcome any advice as i'm new to all this. Fortunately have had some great help so far from members here in Brisbane.
Here's some details on my plans. The i-miev motor seems to be a good match for the Cortina:

At this stage planning to remove the reduction gear and mount the i-miev motor to the 4 speed gearbox of the Cortina. Have contemplated trying to find a combo that could enable direct drive, but not convinced about that yet, obviously keeping the gearbox is the simplest. The Cortina diff is 4.1. The reduction gear on the i-miev is 7.1.
Here's some pics of the Cortina:
