I'll take the Golden Eagle off your hands. What year? Still running the 304?

Unfortunately the eagle was sold to a friend. It is a 77 with a 304. It's a fun jeep.

I have been a Datsun/Jeep fan fofr a long time. Never knew about the Patrol until ~2003. In the early 80s I picked up a 75 Renegade with a 304 with a 3 speed. It was geared so low, I didn't need 1st gear around town and top speed was ~45mph.
I still love Jeeps and own a 98 TJ I bought new. At some point I want an 81 CJ7, either Renegade or Golden Eagle. But it has to have a 304. And I hate to see 350 conversions, even though that is a very smart conversion for just about any vehicle. For now, I have two Patrol projects and no time, and my Jeep and Frontier seem to take all my money.

The golden eagles are pretty sweet, I may try to get one again at some point who knows. I have an 06 tj that I am working on, hoping to have it done in a few years.
The 304s are good engine (as are the 360 and 401 when you can find them). Im the same way with engine swaps, I would rather see the original but I can see where people do the swaps. I would hold out until it was to hard to find/make parts for the stock engine.

welcome to the forum, and good luck with your Patrol
