the eagle d30 front diff has a custom housing that bolts to lugs added
to the 258's block.  4-cyl eagles had a bracket instead, but the amc20
is likely wider and you could run into halfshaft length and angle
issues.

otoh an amc20 rear is easy, with some luck: the hd axle in early 
[roughly pre-chrysler] xjs was an amc20, the same width as eagles.  i
don't recall if you'd have to play with perches [sua vs. soa], but
iirc it does have staggered shocks where the eagle doesn't.
