Part of the reason i bought my Prius is to get familiar with the drive train for an eventual swap into my 1986 Mitsubishi L300 4x4, the whole assembly would fit fairly easily into the engine bay but i havnt figured out yet how to connect a transverse differential and axles onto a longitudinal gearbox/transfer case so that i can keep the hi/low range 4x4 and factory diffs/axles/driveshafts.
It might be best to chop off the prius diff all together and connect the output shaft of the prius transmission directly to the input shaft of the L300 gearbox, then i would not only have the prius CVT but also 5 L300 speeds AND high/low 4x4 (overkill? of course!)
Of course being a van i could also fit at least 3 or 4 of the prius batteries for more EV range, and buttloads of solar on the roof to keep the 12v system (ad maybe HV too?) charged while camping and overlanding, taking the load off the prius DC/DC converter
