I would recommend the 5.7 litre (350 Cubic inch) GM V8. It runs well in that rpm range and is capable of high torque when fitted with readily available performance parts.

HP, Torque and pricing are all relative, do your own research.

Sounds like you want to make your own hybrid car. Try EVsource.com for all kinds of stuff. Someone with a collection of information on a different type of hybrid can be e-mailed at - beesidemeusa@yahoo.co.uk - just ask about hybrids.
