Doc, I thought you learned your lesson in
this thread. You actually went and searched, and that was good! And yet, you post again, in a similar vein, without searching.
Here is a post on the topic.
Here is someone else getting flamed for asking without searching.
Seriously, I just searched the transaxle forum for AWD and I only got eight threads to look at! It's cool if you want to learn more about the possibilities of the platform, but try some more research before you ask questions. Or at least ask a more meaningful question. Maybe discuss building a Contour for the $2006 challenge and wanting to get it in the 12s, with AWD - we'd love to talk about how to do something like that! But these kind of money-no-object-is-it-possible questions always get the same answer: yes, but it's likely no one ever will. Now there are some things you can do for very cheap that are really cool. Koni and Ground Control have products for the suspension, and you can fit a 3.0L engine in with no problem at all. There's an LSD available, as well, and upgraded transaxle components. All of that kind of stuff will let you build a very cool car more in line with the Contour's original purpose. And while the Contour will always suck as a drag car, it's already a properly good handling car in stock form, and it can get even better.
