Anything is possible with time and money.
The AWD conversion is doable with bits from I believe an Evo 3 or 4 (pretty sure the 3) but its a massive job and I dont think it has been done very many times. Doable, but a rare and difficult job. $$$ and time needed.
As for engines, 6A13s and Lancers donks are the easiest to do. You could also turbo the 6A12

Actually... no I didnt. Obviously the only lancer thats AWD is the evo, galants/legnums arent VRX as far as I know and its obviously not out of a mirage. Couldnt think of anything else apart from a magna that would fit.
While I did have to google it to check, I worked out for myself that it could've been a Magna
I googled "Magna VRX AWD"

4G63 is the way to go in my opinion.
Though for simplicity and/or cost there are other great options too

Why would you want to bore and stroke a 6A13 engine?

As far as I can recall the 6A13 has been taken as far as it can go.

The same reason you'd do it to any engine

There have been some which were resleeved and bored to 2.7L or so, but considering the car is FWD and from what it seems the crank is only good to about 600hp, spending money on a capacity increase is pointless.
To be honest, 300-350hp is about as much as you can "use" in a FWD car, and this is in the higher gears as it is
