      I dont know how serious you are about an AWD set up in an F body but us Syclone/Typhoon ppl have been using one since the vehicles rolled off the dealers lot. To answer your question I dont know of anyone that offers an even remotely bolt in-able AWD set up as it would take a tremendous amount of R&D to offer it for just one type of vehicle.

      FWIW you may want to look into the Syclone, Typhoon, and Bravada as they share the same AWD driveline. Also everything is the same among those vehicles and the common S10 4wd trucks/SUVs except for the shiftable 4wd front diff and transfer case (that equals cheap driveline parts). The AWD transfer case is a viscous coupled unit that splits the torque 35/65% front and rear and is used in the syclone, typoon, bravada, and AWD astro van. The front diff is the same unit as the 4wd S trucks except for the pass side axle tube having the 2wd/4wd shift mechanism on regular S trucks. This is easily changed for use as an AWD unit by unbolting the regular 4wd axle tube and replacing it with the AWD unit. Thats the super quicky over view of AWD systems Im familiar with that I thought may fit with only a slightly huge amount of work.



      Lots of info at www.syty.net forum if you want to kill some time.
