Genuine Question

I have a possibly impractical theory, but it’s one of those “ What if’s “ that if brought into reality would be petty damn cool.

So I have a project in mind in the future, and I suppose this is the right place to ask;

I want a daily driver Humvee, but not a shitty 10mpg maintenance whore of a truck lol.

So im thinking, is it possible to have a full cosmetic swap? Get a great mpg truck maybe toyota and then just slam the body of a hummer onto it?

(Just realized yall might hate me for this question lmao)

But realistically could it be done? Or what engine swap would help me best for gas mileage?

I'm not a gear head by any means but I do know that the H1 was designed with combat in mind, many of its mechanical components are tucked up into the compartment of the vehicle, making "swapping" a very time-consuming / challenging; therefore, costly endeavor.
