It is probably simpler to keep the gearbox and transfer case. The difficult part is joining the Leaf motor to the transmission. There is no kit, and the fit between output shaft and transmission must be very precise.
If you use the Leaf gearbox, you will need to build motor mounts and have custom axles made. You will probably lose 4x4. The driveshaft angles from the Leaf motor to the rear differential will need to be the same.
A highway-capable EV conversion will likely cost USD$10k in parts, depending on many things.
