Hey guys. I'm definitely interested in doing an awd conversion within the next 6 months. I wanna make it a straight up gt4 conversion. I know its alot of work. As far as I've read on my parts list is:

3sgte engine
e154f transmission
gt4 driveline
rear differential
rear cradle
driveshafts
gt4 fuel tank

i know theres gonna be fabrication needed but im not sure how much. I'm not exactly sure how the cradle would go in but I'm sure its supposed to be welded up somehow. So far my favorite thread has been czwalga's rally car...difference though is that i'm going with the 3sgte and i'm wanting an awesome street car not an awesome rally car. lol. but definitely kudos czwalga wink.gif . But yeah anyway i know i do have a long way to go. I just wanted help with this cus i know its alot. I've heard alot of guys getting it done under $10k. I would be willing to go a little over if i have to since im not a fabricator or a welder. kindasad.gif . any input would be awesome.

I would personally buy one of the GT4 half cuts that has the whole floor/rear diff etc. with it and use it as a template to emulate. Take measurements, emulate mounts, everything. Be sure to start a thread, and good luck thumbsup.gif
