your wasting your time I don't even think the engine could move it. (weight limitations)


2mode v8 364CI Hybrid would be the best bet good luck finding one though
4x4 or rwd
it's body on frame (body swap will not work because of wheel base) so you could just do a powertrain swap and your good to go... it sounds a lot simpler then just trying to weld on a prius to your ford
