Default Rwd crv trans conversion

Ok long story short I need to know if an awd 5 speed crv trans can be converted to rwd successfully. Rear end and driveshaft strength won't be a problem because I'll have to have a driveshaft made and it'll be a 10 bolt gm rear end. I guess my main question is whether or not the trans will hold up putting all of its power to the rear yoke and if the yoke will hold up?

I would not go with all the power to the rear through the transfer case. The gears inside probably won't take the power. The rear diff in a crv is not designed to apply all the power in the back so the transfer is not 100% . There are some drag cars out there that use the crv drive train and don't have problems but they still keep the front wheel drive active so the mass is not only moved by the back.

Okay is there any other way you can think of to get a b20 powered s10 to work? Lol I know an f20c setup could work but it's so expensive

My concern, even with using a bigger/stronger differential is youll want thicker axles, and the hubs only allow so much. I'd look into a bearing in the rear trailing arm that might allow for say a front hub to be put in so you can make thicker axles. Still would suggest against this, but also consider using those helm-joint replacements for the big trailing arm bushing...the CRV was all-wheel-drive, the trailing arms alone weren't meant to take that much front to rear deflection. So consider doing some beefing up to the suspension.
