AWD Conversion Options

[Swifty]

If I get the ST205 Clip and get that dealt with (- read - Thats a big IF (I'm in my last year of high school and have all my cash going towards university, scolarships are pending)) HOw much would it cost to do the AWD conversion. would this be something I could do on my own? Is it harder or easier than an engine swap (with a clip). This conversion is pretty much a must, if I decide to get the 3sGTE, that many horsies in a FF car (front engine, front wheel drive) would really take away from the experience/clean starts off the line. Also I have a bunch of mods already (UD pulleys, sway bars, short shifter) would any of these have to be replaced or would they work with the new engine and drive train?

PS: anybody know how easy/hard it would be to get a 3sgte in Canada (Ottawa).

um 5 grand for the clip, you'll have to get a front AND rear clip. prolly 5-7 more for a shop to do the conversion, and at least a month downtime, if not more. i'd guesstimate at minimum 12 grand to do the conversion, there are always hidden costs. you won't be able to use any engine mods or suspension mods from your current car.

if you have to ask if an AWD conversion is harder than a swap, you aren't experienced enough to attempt it. there really isn't anyone on this forum that could do it themselves. nor
