Is it possible to achieve awd 3sgte daily driver in california? Options

[st94]

I have been looking into swapping my 1994 ST 1.8L w/ auto tranny for a jdm 3sgte. Is it possible to use with awd tranny in CA?
I am aware that the Japanese do not have EGR systems. Is it possible to use a intake manifold and egr system from a close relitive in california for smog purposes?
Will the gt-4's gas tank mount in the same spot on the 6G st?
I wish to achieve awd, is their a large problem that I am overlooking? Because not many people are doing this it seems..
Is it because lack of drivetrain/suspension parts in the US?
Is their holes to accomidate the driveline bracket?
Cat converter?
exauhst, will it get in the way of the driveline?
I am assuming the front ST halfshafts wont spline up with the jdm tranny?
Will I be able to use the front hub assembly?
How would I cope with the rear diff between the rear halfshafts?

flip lights suck.
not to mention they are scarce as ever and over priced, best deal I ever found is a 88 alltrac with 125xxx for 3500.
would it be wrong to use another make engine/drive train in my celi?
I do honor Toyota..

You sound like someone with no money but big dreams...
To convert your car, you will need to spend around 10,000$. No part of the awd system bolts up. The whole rear end of the car has to be cut up and welded with a lot of custom fabrication work (hope you know how to do this). Besides all that, the fact that you have a coupe makes it almost impossible to do because the rear section of the car is totally different.

Use the search feature and look up some of the people who have attempted this conversion to learn more about it.

And NO, once you swap your car, it will no longer be smog legal. Especially in california.

PS. its a lot easier to change the flip lights then it is to convert your car to awd and make it smog legal.
