But it did have a different rear end than the standard sube one. And the 4EAT H6 OB's of my cars generation is the same +/- the gearing, but the center differential is different so it'd probably be easier to find an H4.

good to know, I hadnt heard that before. if I had known, I probably would have gone that route as there was 2 SVX near me for sale at the time for less than $1,000.0. maybe I could have just pulled the FD from the AVX and used it in the OB ?

I never once considered turning the car into an RWD. mostly because of things I read on the OB forums, where the car has a fuse you cna pull that disables the RWD of the car, essentially turning it into a FWD. but that isnt much of an option as it is an emergency feature in case of a problem with your rear transaxle, and actually takes away your FE by quite a large margin.
but a RWD OB would def be an alternative. and a preferable one at that (for me)
