Has anybody heard of somebody dropping out the batteries, motors (sell as parts) and dropping in a front-wheel drive engine and transmission? A Tesla with no range anxiety.

Not precisely what you asked for, but here is a V8 Tesla Model S. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-6kHjF1U1E&t=956s (mild content discretion advised)

you could, or you could add a diesel generator to one, and charge the batteries that way. gets 1000 miles to the tank or so.
