Why not buy a used CSVT....If you're molding the body and changing all the motor/suspension components anyways, whats the difference?? I feel sad for this CSVT  ...no offence. I think your mods will be awesome, but finding an unmodded cherry CSVT nowadays is near impossible. But oh well, to each his own...
Good luck with your mods

AWD is possible but you are going to spend a good 30k or more to finish the car (engine, custom tranny, etc) and it's overall handling characteristics will be in doubt. (i.e. a tail happy chassis never made to carry that much extra rear weight - more $$$ to fix) Honestly as cool as that would be you could build 2 complete other cars for that kind of money.

The way I see it now, is that nobody is going to give that dealership what they want, not even what he got it down to, to just drive/collect it. All SVT's started as brand new vehicles at one point or another, and look at what a lot of people have done with them.

In case you haven't figured it out yet, there are a lot of people here who fear change... Don't listen to them, I am looking forward to seeing what you can do to the CSVT, and by the looks of your other work, it will be badasss

okay, so maybe i meant that completely taking out the motor is terrible. go for all the other mods, just dont pull that 63 mile engine! Oh, and an M3 bumper like this? (posted a while back on another thread):
