Can you convert a 1G FWD carr to a AWD car?
What would be needed to do so if it was possible? |

I think it's for the same basic reason why most don't reccomend doing a turbo swap into an N/T car. Chassis's that comes stock with the features you are looking for are readily available.
By the time you price out the tranny, transfer case, driveshaft, rear-end parts you'll need, add in the incredible time and fab work neccessary to make it happen, well you start to get the idea. Then there's all the things you'll run into that you haven't considered. Exhaust, front cross-member, etc. Although it's been done, the consensus seems to be roughly the same as a turbo-swap into an NT. Doable... yes. Worth the vast headache... probably not. Just my $0.02 -------------------- |
