I am guessing to do that I would have to place the transmission in Neutral while the electric motor was in power ...

Hope that helps ..
Why not lose the transfer case, put in the front-end from the 4x4, drive it directly with the electric motor, and use the locking hubs to disconnect it when you're not using it?
