Maybe Im shooting blanks here (that never happens to me in real life) but what about the awd caravans??? I have absolutely no idea about them though.
Food for thought previously mentioned awd vws mazda 323 gtx (small though not sure about reliability) any subaru chevy awd astros/syclonetyphoon toyota all tracs honda awd station wagon mazda mpvs and Im sure there are more that could be found at a junkyard these are just a few that come to mind that would be somewhat affordable to obtain(except the syclone/typhoon).

AWD Caravans wont work.. they used the 3.3 or something. Totally different bellhousing pattern. Also they are pretty weak and if one piece breaks on the system its pretty much all junk.. and very hard to find. Many have considerd this already.
Im trying to figure out what you guys are talking about with Mitsu engine configs and rotations. ALL mitsy 2.0s have the engine on the Driver side.. N/A.. turbo.. and AWD Turbo. As far as rotations.. i dont know.

Rather than trying to mount a whole different transmission is there anyway to mount just a transfer case to the tranny currently in the car? Or all these transfer cases you are talking about cast into the transmission casing?

Jeff for the rotation thing the engine is turnewd 180 as compared to the neon/Omni. Jeff should know this.....Shelby did a AWD Daytona. Weismann transmissions made a torque splitter that bolts up to the back (side?) of the tranny. They also used a Dana 30 from the front end of the 4wd Eagles (80s) version mounted solidly to the frame and made a type of independent suspension for the rear. Just using an existing AWD setup would be easier
then trying to fab up something from like junkyard wars.

Yeah i have the Hot Rod mag with the 4WD daytona here. I think if i were to make a AWD dodge id use Mitsy parts since youll be fabbing up everything anyway. But then since you know what idea i have on the back burner... id just use a 4G63 to make life a little easier. But then id just use a DSM body. 
Next thing you know there would be 2 yellow AWD Mirages around!

They do have a car that is close to the same size. The hardest thing I can think besides the obvious bolting it under the car would be the adapter plate for the tranny. I dont know any machinists that would be helpful in that sense. But I know a handy welder for the suspension adaptation.
