Hello,
I have a 1991 Galant 2.0 SOHC Manual Trans. FWD I would like to know if anyone would know what I would have to replace to convert the car from FWD to AWD. I am going to be putting in a DOHC engine. I'm thinking about putting a Engine from a VR4. I know it might be cheaper to just find a VR4 but I like this car and I have already started to do some work on it.

if i were you, i would keep the current galant as a winter car and get a vr4 for the rest of the year. so you get a racer and you don't have to lose the work you put into your current galant.

I totally agree!!! Why not have two galants? One stock for city driving and the other for those times when you want to let it all out. You will also have a "spare car" to play around with and experiment on.

You'd also have a spare car for when one was off the road having work done, AND be able to keep the mileage down on the high-powered beast which would lower your maintenance costs aswell 8)

all responses are true https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif I'm looking forward to obtain my third galant, and have my 95 "re-engineered", after I'm done updating my 91,... sounds like fun?! https://www.thegalantcenter.org/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif

You will spend way more money with engine swap, AWD swap and other mods than if you would just go and buy a VR-4... :roll:

yeah, not to sound rude but if finances don't allow a second car, they won't allow the kinds of swaps your talking about either. not to sound rude.
however, if you hunt around you may be able to get a good deal on a DOHC engine and a manual tranny to go with it. if your lucky you can get a wrecked car with everything you need maybe for a few hundred or so. and if you do all the work yourself it will be pretty good.
maybe you can get lucky and find a wrecked fwd turbo eclipse or talon or something.
