I recall this timing belt failure some time ago that was posted in the forum:

Why the timing belt failed is anybody's guess, did it snap on it's own or did a pulley seize.

I wonder how much would it cost in that situation today for Electric conversion? has anyone done that?

Not sure how practical and electrical conversion would be and exactly what components would have to be replaced, but $25k should give anyone doing this a reasonable start. With that said if I really wanted an electrical car I would rather buy something new that was designed properly and not go through a tedious and perhaps unreliable retrofit. Also stripping the SC of it's well designed and smooth V8 would take something huge away from it's sports/luxury cruiser personality, not to mention the decreased range based current batteries available.
