If money were no object...
« on: December 09, 2024, 09:43:16 PM »
... how would you build your Eagle?
I actually like a lot of things about my Eagle. If money were no object, I would put lockers in both axles, swap in an AX-15, an Edelbrock 4.0 head with the 6=8 intake and a 4bbl carburetor, a better cam, a set of Jeep turbine wheels, and a proper receiver hitch.

A rollcage and a supercharged Buick 3.8 is all she really needs, maybe a t-case with 4LO...

Oh and a paint job to match the Eagle rally car.  :amc:
