this is the same rear suspension/Drivetrain as 2g Eclipse AWD or 8g VR4. IDK if it will fit 9g tho. If you post pics of your 9g rear suspension maybe we can elaborate.
Here are the underbody pictures from an All wheel drive Magna/Diamante ...the Australian version.
I needed to make some comparisons for my 380/9G AWD project which uses the same components.
Just quietly, I am giving myself a pat on the back for making some good decisions/assumptions earlier about placement of components.
Just look at the tailshaft intermediate mounts on the floor pan of the AWD magna/diamnte and the corresponding 380/9g floor pan...its all there....all catered for....they must have planned an AWD 9g model.
The Magna/diamante tailshaft is not straight...LOL...but with 3 CV/universal joints who cares...it works.
And that is a huge relief for me because the wheel base of the Magna is shorter...so I can center mine and absorb the difference in rear driveshaft spline movement.
I looked all over the forums but couldn't find any evidence of any 8G/Diamante/magna AWD drivettrain photos...so here you go world....

you should be looking at 4g eclipse forums and what they say about AWD conversion.
I know that AWD Magna comes with automatic trans only, and it will most likely bolt up to the block, but for the rear end, i dont know.
Thank you so much for posting these. It may not help my car any, but it does make me feel better. lol, I'm saving all of these.
Lancer/EvolutionX Rotor Glow Paint
6g74 Forged Engine w/ hx40 turbo
Eclipse GT 5 spd swapped
Rotor Glow Galant
Daily Galant
OZ Edition Eclipse
That looks like it might work fairly easy on an 8G.
Those pictures are just delightful.

You could just install Endeavor components in a 9g.
howdy mate,
did you make any measurements of each tailshaft section by any chance?
and/or.. any chance of making some?
trying to compare it to a 8G galant vr4 tailshaft and if any fo the bits are compatible.. the part numbers differ but they seem more or less identical so im curious about that.
Regards,
Trent
