Drop in electric EV motor retrofit for older cars?

I’d worry the electric motor’s higher acceleration capabilities compared to the original gasoline engine could make an older classic unsafe to drive. I went to an auto show last summer where someone had “upgraded” an older British classic from it’s original 40 HP motor to a 300 HP version, and they had to completely revise the suspension, steering, axle system to support the new motor.
