This thread should be in "Jeeps other then CJ".
The Honcho package ran from 76-83.
They all had 44 axles front and rear.
The AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and 360 were offered through the run.
The better options IMO,
76-83 manual transmissions T-18
80-83 T-176 /T-177
76-79 auto GM Turbo 400
80-83 auto 727
76-79 Transfer CaseDana 20
I'll add. Up to 1979 had a offset rear Dana 44 and pass side front d44
After 1980, had a larger AMC20 rear. It is a centered rear diff and has one piece axle shafts. Unlike the cj's 2 piece. Front d44 pumpkin went to the drivers side.
