I know for EG's with B series engines, you want a first generation CRV (95-01).

For an EF/CRX chassis I'd assume you'd want the same. I wonder if a Wagovan drivetrain has any differences in it, or if that would be easier to adapt to these chassis. I don't know a whole lot about these AWD conversions, but as far as I'm aware most of the complications typically come in with the rear subframe and hubs. Custom fabrication will definitely be needed for mounts/brackets/supports.

Use whatever, it's all going to be custom anyway.

why not just buy a RT4wd. They are all over for sale, not hard to find on craigs. They occasionally pop up at insurance auctions which is how i got mine.

2nd thatThe 1st gen MDX was tail happy, which made it fun in the snow anyway, but I don't know how it would hold up under long term abuse. Your going to have to cut & paste, might as well go all out. Find a WRX donor?
