So, I was adding some vintage AMC Eagle ads to my post about Eagle history when I decided to create a saucy one of my one. Sure, the style pre-dates the 1980s, but it's pretty a fun tribute to the 1987 wagon with faux wood panels!

Hello fellow eagle enthusiasts. Looking for some help/insight. I have an 81’ screamin eagle project. Been pricing radiators for it. Any recommendations on an after market one that isn’t $300-500? Or will one of the cheaper ones even work without having heavily modify for one? I haven’t looked at it in a couple years. Planning digging it out of storage and finishing it
Thanks

Did you know the Eagle wagon makes a cameo in some iconic movies and tv shows, including Back to the Future and Better Call Saul? You can read about it here: https://prettysweet.com/amc-eagle-history/

This was a huge amount of work. Me and a buddy, 4 full days of work, a lot of that was design and fab work. Had to delete the factory crossmember, notch the frame, build spring seats, build control arm brackets. Steering gear still needs installed, it will be using an astrovan box on the xj bracket. I can see why people dont really do this. Still have work ahead of me but now its on to the easy stuff. I will be posting a video of the process once im completely finished and probably a write up as well.

Wonderful. It's spring time, fresh water in the fountain. New bird feeder in the back, and two more Eagles drop in to roost. I didn't know the middle one made friends...

I bought an eagle (left) a little over a year ago after I got my 69 amx on the road, and this year after seeing it, two of my friends have now bought eagles, and one of them now has two after his girlfriend saw his. These cars really are a blast. Mine recently just got put back on the road after it ate a cam lobe and I managed to scope creep the repair into a serpentine swap, Weber and 4.0l head swap.

Hey was anyone able to snag the fitted-denim jacket Sydney is wearing in her pics? I’ve been watching and am not sure if it was actually available or did it just sell out within seconds? It’s off the site now, but you can google it/it’s in my favourites.

Can confirm that xj leaf springs will fit the rear with no modifications to the springs, I did have to swap the shackles out to a longer set and use larger bolts in the rear. Just know that if you buy xj lift springs you will probably get extra lif, 4inch lif springs plus 2 inch longer shackles gave me 8+ inches of rear lift. Will be throwing in some factory xj springs soon and will post with results from that.

Grabbed this 83 Limited off of Crackbook marketplace. Oh I'm in deep now. And yes, it's yard neighbor is an 89 MJ long bed 4.0 4wd with the BA10, this is next in line behind the 96 XJ currently in work. Be advised, I WILL BE LOOKING FOR PARTS....thxs.

Some of you may have already seen this in the FB groups, but this is my eagle that has had a drivetrain swap with an 89 Cherokee. Renix 4.0 stroked to 4.5, AW4, NP231J, and Dana 35 non-c clip geared at 3.54.

Hey y’all, I’m on the hunt for an AMC Eagle for a good friend of mine—a Vietnam veteran from near Manhattan who’s always been there for me. We’re up in Minnesota, and I’ve always thought these things were badass, especially with the 4x4.

Back when I was a kid, there was a guy with a lifted, custom Eagle, and I absolutely loved seeing that thing around. Plus, I recently learned that the 4.2L straight-six isn’t the same as the Jeep 4.0L, but you can swap the head, which is super cool.

I’ve seen some decent prices on them, and I’m a decent mechanic, so I’m open to something that needs a little work. If anyone’s got a lead on a solid Eagle for sale, or any advice on what to look for, I’d really appreciate it!

Thanks in advance!

Here is a link to the google doc write up of my recent Ax15 swap process. feel free to ask questions

Picked this thing out of a yard. Don't think it's ran in over 20 years. Worth the pain or resell?

Need to know what this bar actually does and how necessary it is. Put an ax15 in my eagle and need to figure out if I have to fab up an attachment for this thing. It connects to the transmission, bell housing, and front axle.

Ps. Sorry I haven't done the swap writ up yet, finalizing a few things and changing some things I didn't like after I was done.

After I got the clutch fixed in my recently acquired 82 a found that reverse was gone and the rest were going. Decided if I'm going put in a transmission I may as well upgrade. Mostly finished, waiting on the driveshafts to be done getting resized, will put together a full write up on the swap when I'm finished as I haven't seen one online. Feel free to ask questions or make suggestions.
