I believe Smith makes their own. You may not find anything for that task other than an industrial motor which should work well with a diesel transmission as they typically top out at 3450 rpm but much more common is the 1725rpm. Also you may have to fabricate some multiple motor arrangement.
Onward to the battery requirements... Have you done any pack requirement calculations? You're going to pack a BUNCH of batteries in that thing. It seems like a hurculean task with today's batteries but you'll likely find a lot of room, depending on the size of your existing tanks. Probably be able to pack a bunch under and between the frame rails also.
I'll be following this build for sure! I have some full size vans I want to eventually convert. With all the charging stations popping up it'll be easier to do, especially with some possibly at my customers locations. This is exciting times we're living in for sure.
Oh yea, I used to make my own biodiesel too but the Ford 6.0 didn't like it too well long term. Well the engine was fine with it, the auxiliary pumps etc were the problems. After oil got hard to get I started looking elsewhere for answers and that's how I got to electric vehicles.
