I'd buy a wrecked Nissan Leaf and use that as the donor vehicle. Then I'd buy a second Leaf battery pack and either parallel the battery modules (if you want to use the complete Leaf system as is) or use Wolf's twin pack BMS system (if you're discarding most of the Leaf control system).13k is looking like about there for 1 year payback. Im not opposed to going more and definately wouldnt be afraid to go less lol.
The Leaf's curb weight is ~3400lbs so you should be ok assuming a large part of your vehicles weight is in the ICE and transmission.
A good wrecked Leaf should be less than $5K and second battery less than $3K
If you require 4x4 then an alternative approach can be found on the LandRover conversion (here) but that pushes up the total costs with the AC51 motor typically costing $4700 on its own (here) and weight could become a problem because you'll need the transmission.
