Default Awd ls

Hey has anyone ever thought of attempting to have a awd car with an ls motor. I know they have been done before, but not a lot of info is provide for them. Would it be worth swapping the motor into a awd car, or converting a car to awd using a Borg Warner type kit or something similar. Obviously this would have tons of fan work but that is half the fun. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Interesting. Has anybody ever tried this in a newer car like a c5 corvette? Or a GTO? I am assuming swapping an ls motor into an audi or a subaru would be nigh of impossible without have bill gates bank account.

I've been trying to figure out the best way to create a lightweight AWD LSX powered machine for a while.

I saw the chevy LUV on here and thought that might be a fit

A jeep is probably the best answer right now, but whats the point of having all that power, if you're just going to flip the thing at the slightest bend in the road.
