It was a joy to watch such a sweet car taking some of the local mustangs…

Anyway, I found a local FWD model which looks very clean for a reasonable price. I’ve already done one AT-MT swap in another Subaru of mine, and would dive strait into it with this particular SVX. That said, the Tranny and rear diff would be encompassed in the swap so the remaining FWD->AWD missing parts would be:

Drive axle shafts
2-piece drive shaft (w/custom lengthening)
Outer rear uprights(?) I guess AWD rear knuckles and hub assembly would be required too…

What else am I missing?
You would also need a TCU from an awd SVX. However, when you add the cost up, trust me, you'd be better off finding a well-maintained awd SVX. I travelled 100+ miles to get my SVX (other members have travelled across the nation).
