[Amc-list] Eagle SX4 conversion

[Jesse <j2sax@xxxxxxxxx>]

If it were me there is no way I would consider getting this, fixin it enough to get running, selling and buying a Spirit... or see if anyone wants to trade you a similar conditions Spirit for your SX4 straight across.  Here's why.

* There were more Spirits sold than SX4's and the common body parts with Concords are easier to use (also many parts from Gremmi's, and Hornets)

* You would have a Spirit looking body with an extra hump in the floorboard where the transfer case front output goes

*  You would have holes to repair in every quarter and rocker to lose the Eagle "cladding"

*  You cannot disconnect the front driveshaft on some models as it will no longer move, but will burnnup the TC

*  You will have to swap rearend or re-weld mounts underneath axle

*  Rear axle is wider than 2WD
 
*  Wheels won't work with 2WD front

*  2 WD wheels won't work with back axle

*  You will have to re-route/plug unecessary vacuum tubing for front axle pod and transfer case, in some models

*  Need 2WD front springs (unless you have them)

*  It ain't no picnic getting all that front end stuff off!  

Why take the time for all this when you can just trade for a 2 WD and someone will get their dream SX4.  As someone who has 3 79-80 AMX's, 3 SX4's and to Eagle Kammbacks, I can tell you none are very valuable, but all are fun in their own right... keep them that way!
