Planning to the swap and get my car running again soon and don't want many surprises
Thanks guys and gals

I had mine swapped from FWD to 5spd AWD. Have question you can ask. You will need a rear subframe. it bolts right up, the only different between AWD and FWD (hardware) is rear diff, rear subframe and drive shaft (axles too). You can get all of that from a donor SVX.
Obviously you need AWD transmission. Axles are the same for the front, need to get new ones (unless they are on the way out, might as well replace them at that point).
As far as the TCU, I am not sure, as I switched to 5spd. Maybe ask SVXfiles or 1986Nate
For the record, FWD was only 94 and 95.
