You could just put a double shafted electric motor inline with the XMSN.
A word of note my 1989 diesel suburban with a 5sp manual gets mid 20's out of the box.
If you want/need a suburban consider a low powered diesel motor (like the C-code 6.2 or 4bt), couple with a manual transmission, high rear end gears.
Get that working and learn to hypermile then add your electric drive, a 4wd t-case like they used in the old days with lockup should be able to allow you to clutch and unclutch the ev side safely, just a lot of gear noise from having the splines the wrong way.
Cheers
