Current Chevelle Specs

Here are the numbers on my motor:
5BT1374A15 on the tag, Drexel PN 8855 on the tag and 36B 550 639AA stamped on the case.
I am assuming  that the one stamped on the case means 36 volts, class B insulation, 5500 rpm and 639 amps.
 

Check on ebay and check with your local forklift dealers for used electric motors.

I am wiring this motor to handle 3000 plus amps

At 12 volts I ran this motor with no load for 1 week, 24 hours a day to seat the brushes
