Re: convertin to an awd
you'd have to custom build all the driveshafts and places to mount everything, as well as find a way to make the Front hubs that are connected to halfshafts fit in the place of where there were hubs with no shafts, There's also a good chance there isn't enough clearance under the engine in the front of the car for the front diff. This would be VERY hard.

Re: convertin to an awd
it depends whats different on the cars you're using, there's a chance you could get the FWD/AWD hubs to fit, there's a chance not, you might want to use the front suspension off another car and then fabricate all the mounting points.

It would be very difficult. There would be a lot of fabrication involved. And to get it all designed properly is a whole 'nother challenge.
