Cool AWD 99 Corolla?

Hey all! I recently purchased a 1999 Corolla with the TRD package. I would like to build it as a daily driver/track toy, but to not particularly care for front wheel drive. Now, I've heard from a friend that there have been factory AWD Corollas sold in Canada, but I'm a good ways away from there... I had the idea of doing an AWD conversion, but am not sure what partucular parts I will need, aside from rear diff, AWD transaxle, transfer case, ect... It has the stock 1ZZ-FE engine, and I was wondering if a gearbox and such from a Celica GT-Four will fit up to this engine, or if I could possibly swap in an entire drivetrain from one. I'm seriously considering doing this, though getting parts may take me a while due to a low-pay 9 to 5 job. Also, I would like to go turbo, or use a supercharger if there is one that will fit up. Please, any help will be greatly appreciated!

In the early 90's Toyota made a turbo all-trac celica. It might be alot to convert it over but at least you could get everything you need from 1 car.

Talking Much Obliged

Thanks alot Schuy. I found the info I need on the car and saw that the 3S-GTE engine and drivetrain aren't too terribly expensive. My main concern will be the time it will take to put together the custom wiring harness, being the car is my daily driver. Thanks again!
