Thanks Jim, will have to look. There is welding shop around corner from me off Brittmoore so that might be the answer, as opposed to trying to find a darned Eagle 'specific' 3:54 rear of which after a month, no luck, have had some leads but sellers unwilling to ship or pull off cover to count teeth so the car is still at mechanics shop pushed off to the back.

Front and rear will be matched within 4%. The brackets can be cut and welded from the eagle axle to the XJ one, or get aftermarket shock mounts from a 4x4 shop and shorter rear shocks .From: "Eddie Stakes" <Re: [Amc-list] eagle rear end HELP/ADVISE wanted>Subject: Re: [Amc-list] eagle rear end HELP/ADVISE wantedTo: <Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx>, "AMC/Rambler owners, drivers and fans." <amc-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx>Message-ID: <01f301c887e6$841a19b0$b3621e4c@piageedc1iqa5q>Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="Windows-1252"; reply-type=original Hi Mark and thanks, sometime this week I will go over there and per Frank's mention, pull off the cover and count gears in there. I found a 1990 Cherokee rear end here in Houston for $200 end to end, and someone has a 83(?) Eagle they are parting out which has same A and 2 on the back mine has, but like me, have not pulled off the cover to see what gear actually in there. The car is still at mechanic's shop while I continue to look for a rear. This 81 Eagle does have the selector on the dash also for 2wd to 4wd. What year XJ were you talking about maybe I can get on a Houston hotline here and see if some of those available also. The salvage yard told me to 'come on out' and look at the one(s) they have end to end. My Eagle has staggered shocks while the Jeep ones have same side shocks in back.Eddie Stakes' ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Connect and share in new ways with Windows Live.
