Default Ga400awd?

I am trying to do some research on a project vehicle of mine. I was thinking about doing a 1uz swap into my truck. Iwas thinking of buying a donor SC400 and swapping the entire drivetrain into it, motor, 5spd swap and also the suspension.

A friend of mine said the GS came in awd. I would love to go awd but am pretty set on the 1uz. I tried to do research on the GS awd but can't find any solid info.

Did the GS come in AWD? If so what year?
Was it a 1uz, 2jz or something else?

I know these are noob questions but the search tab is not working out.

Thanks

Edit:can't edit the title. Suppose to say "gs400 awd"

Do you think there would be any in Canada or just in Japan?

It was a JDM half cut destined for the scrap yard. At least he bought it and is salvaging what he can.
