Default fwd can be made awd??

I almost finish my car, is a 1991 first gen stealth, by the outside looks like a tt, but with the original 91 front skirt, 3000gt rear automatic spoiler, and the car is corsa red (ferrari), the interior is fully leather (not original) in black, and i just tested my engine yesterday in a dyno and delivered 347.4 flywheel horse power. i made a hole new reprogramed computer injection system, very light parts for the engine, like titanium valves, forged aluminum conecting rods etc.


with all of that i want my car to be 4wd, can i make it??? with not so much problem and cheap.




p.s. i totally des essembled my car, i sand blasted it, painted it red even by the bottom part and thing by thing, if it was not ok, i got it new or reconstructed it, i started in september last year and im almost finished. up till now i“ve spent mor than 20,000 dollars.

You've spent 20k on your car and now you worried about "cheap." It can be done, but you need many parts to do it. AWD tranny, transfer case, driveshaft, the hole rear subframe assembly, and someone to weld it in place. It is not a simple bolt in job.

I'd like to see pics of this red beast if you have them.

Yes, the gas tank and whatnot is in the same place. There are just a few mounting points that the FWD cars do not have that the AWD subframe mounts too. You would have to weld or fabricate these mounting points.
