Not sure, depends on how big of a motor. You'll have to find a way to add gears or something as well. The detents may also pose an issue as they are a bit "firm", for lack of a better word. Had to drill a hole in the aluminum back plate that's behind the foam to get the wire through too but that wasn't a huge issue, just filled it in liquid tape.
I was sold on them when I drove my uncle's XLT with the towing mirrors, I was in love with the visibility. You can see everywhere! The convex on both sides is awesome too.

Meh, who are we kidding. I'll probably never even attempt to get them to power fold. It's a nice feature to have with my current mirrors (which are utterly and completely useless for towing) but for the few times I ever use the power fold feature I could probably fold them in by hand. I'll just switch garage spots with dad so I can avoid the single wide garage bay.

I love them too, especially in traffic and backing up. Never really have to look over my shoulder anymore. I hate driving anything else now because the mirrors are always small.

I park in a lean-to but the few times I parked in the single bay I had to fold one in and IIRC I could make it with the other one out.

I back into my garage. Because It's a single bay I only ever park in the garage when I know I'm going to be home for awhile, or when it's going to storm. I usually park outside during the day when I come and go as it's a PITA aiming the truck in that small bay as it is.

It would surely be an impressive feat if you were to succeed. However, this mod would make an FX-R retrofit seem as easy as changing your pants...
