There have been theories of how to do an AWD, the Pikes Peak rotaries were one off customs.

I would venture to say it would be easier to put a rotary into a B-Series 4wd or a first gen MPV All Wheel Drive.

Think about all the spindles/hubs, etc you have to adapt to fit into an FC or FB. Then think about where you would find room for a transfer case.
