Well I gotta say that some of parts are the same in a Eagle or Jeep of that vintage, the 258 6 cyl comes to mind, radios, upolstery, and engineering as in the 2 peice vacuum disengage front axle. When I ordered my Eagle in 1984 it was from a AMC/Jeep/Eagle dealer and I could have just as well ordered a CJ or Grand Waggy or Cherokee at the same desk. I think all AMC products have some great features that were carried thru the whole model lines, and conversly some bad ideas. And I'll tell you my Eagle has been off road and I really never had a bit of problem with it as I had with all the CJ's, Waggys, small Cherokees I ever owned. BTW how come I can bolt a 401 right into my Eagle? Jeff
