ok. I just got a thought. I thought I read somewhere that the Caravan was based off a similar drivetrain/chassis as the 'trep. after all, they used the same engine for 4 years. Anyone ever think of taking the AWD setup off of a Caravan and installing it on a trep?

Sounds like a lot of work (if it is possible).....
The engine in the Caravan is horizontally mounted. Making AWD work that way would be hard as hell. Someone had the idea of using the tranny from a Quattro. That sounds like the best idea so far. All you need is a bell housing adapter and a clutch setup. The rest is just easy mods.

So if and when you get the tranfer case installed, you would then have to find a rear end to put in the car, get a driveshaft custom made, and set up the suspension in the rear to handle a new set of drive wheels. Who here thinks there's room for any of this under an Intrepid?
I do I do! I just don't know where I would put the exhaust. 
maybe run it out with two stacks on each side of the firewall, Like a big rig!
Well, it was only a thought in my mind. probably never even come close to happening, because I still have 2 years of shcool left before considering the upgrade.
