Are you looking to make an AWD or a 4WD. I'm thinking like the little Evos and STi that are rolling around today.

I heard about a VC running in the low 13's, with an AWD converstion is probably could get into the very high 12's, considering the extra weight involved
Thinking more along the line of making it as practical as a modern SUV from a traction standpoint, not really going for pure performance. (I have my 442 for that ) So yes, my first thought was adapting the front and rear suspensions from a Subbie, problem as I see it would be the weight would just be too much for that. That's why I started going down the path of a pickup truck, or perhaps a AWD crossover. Guess it depends on what I can find in auto salvage yards if/when I get around to this someday. For now it's just an interesting theoretical exercise.
