i was wondering what would it take to do and awd swap on my 2g fwd or is it easier to just buy an awd car instead

That should get you started. Not impossible but certainly would be a hell of a lot easier just buying an AWD model.

i dont believe it would be that hard. find an awd car, drop the whole rear subframe, 4subframe bolts, driveshaft, t-case, and trans, and e-brake cables

Make sure you have a donor car, as you will also need the gas tank & sending units harness, and supports off the floor pan for the driveshaft carrier bearings and other particular bits.

Without a donor car piecing it together will be a challenge.

Remember to match the rear axle assy. 5 speeds have a 3.54 final ratio and automatics have 3.30 ratio these should be marked on the tag on the rear diff cover. You cannot put an auto rear awd assy in with a 5 speed transaxle, as above the final drive ratios will not match. 5 spd/5spd or auto/auto.
