I'm thinking you should find a "workhorse" chassis. One of my friends bought the complete chassis with 454 Chevy engine to mount a 1952 Chevrolet COE body on. These chassis are commonly used under step vans and gas Motorhomes. Especially with the demise of several motorhome manufacturers there may be some setting around. You'd get your new tires, axles, engine,transmission and electronics in one package. It would be a modern electronically controlled engine that would serve you well for years. I live up here in RV country...if you get serious about such a project I could check around for you.
