Almost all very old cars have horrible aerodynamics, which will cut the range for an EV conversion about in half. Yes it's that bad. It's still better than burning fuel though... Usually you don't drive these cars to cross the country, so 8 this they are great candidates for a conversion, actually.
People have swapped newer engines into old cars forever, this is essentially the same thing.
