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.

all good points. However all i'd really have trouble with is the fab. Your right czwalga i would probably do a fuel cell instead. But i can take care of the mechanical myself. lol. wat i'm not sure about is that rear end. how do the struts location differ from the usdm version? you have to cut stuff out and replace with the gt4 rear and weld up?
