" what should I look for?  I like the car and I really bought it for my wife

sure the 'rear end noise' isn't the rear u-joint?  spider gears only
do anything when the car is turning.  as for 'conventional', the jeep
axles are essentially the same as the eagles - hence the swap
potential.

did you change the bearings and seals because of the noise?

i can't guess at the engine noise but it sure doesn't sound good.
