What John said is ABSOLUTELY correct. And Neverstop, I would like an answer to Charlie's question as well. If you did perform an AWD conversion, I would like to know more information. Because performing an AWD conversion for under $1k is HIGHLY unbelieveable. You could barely buy a ST185 clip for that price.

That was just for the Rearend... not the whole swap. when I got my 3sgte it came with the transmission and transfercase... all I had to get was just the rearend, driveshaft and suspension out of a st205 for me to convert to allwheel drive..

to do the conversion you will need a 3sgte and transmission that comes with it.

The conversion is really easy to do..
Raise up the vehicle and support it with jack stands at least 2.
unbolt the stock rearend.
unbolt or break the welds.. depends on how yours is mounted... for you gas tank. be sure that yo have disconnected the fuel pump
Move your ST205 rearend under vehicle.
You will need to do some cutting to the floor panels to allow the pumpkin to fit.
connect drive shaft to transfercase.
Bolt up suspension and rearend to vehicle and driveshaft to rearend... will need some extra hands.

this is really not that hard to do and I completed it with the help of a few friends in about 5-6 hours.

By the way.. I called TRD about the 4agze fitting in a GT... the 4agze is too wide for it to fit correctly into the GT subframe. you could make it fit but would be lossing alot of strenght in the subframe... not a smart Idea.

BTW I was wrong about the 4agze fitting into the ST... like I said before I forget about the ST's most of the time and usally think from a GT point of mind... sorry
