Start off by getting the framework/lift all welded up, then start with the actual mechanical engineering. ... lol

I have two directions to go with this... use a 10hp flathead, with a torque converter to a mini transfer case witch runs driveshafts and U joint down to the trannys, or, put a suzuki 160, horizontal shaft fourwheeler motor, run it to a jack shaft eitch will drive the front and rear straught axles. I woukd do this but will the length if the chain be to long?

you could use small solid axles out of a jeep or something and shorten them! Also could run a peerless as your transfer case maybe?
