If you don't, you'll need to make a frame-mounted cross member that you can install the e-motor to.
Drive shaft shops can make your new e-motor combination shaft for ~$100 if you provide the donor drive shaft. If they charge more than that, they're ripping you off. It's about an hour of welding and 20 mins of cutting and measuring.

I didn't mean physically, I meant mechanically. I have to do this every time I drive the vehicle.
I have a more elegant solution in mind.
Thanks for the contribution.
Wish there were affordable large motors, and Lithium batteries.
