I have been toying with the idea of swapping my rear axle (amc model 20) for something with disc brakes and a lil more strength. Dana 44s or dana 60 would be ideal but I have the ole AMC 258 i6 / 4.2l and I am not looking to upgrade to a v8 anytime soon. Just recently after hunting junkyards all day I found a 2001 or newer grand cherokee in great condition just wrecked in front only. Here's the catch dunno if the engine was a 6 or 8. But from what I found out its a dana 35 for the 6 cyl and a Dana 44 for the 8 cyl. I like to fab so that doesn't scare me at all. But my question is can it be made to work? The dana under the grand cherokee will run $100 if I pull it and $200 it they do it. The model 20 isn't broken I just wanting to play around. If I am crazy let me know honesty doesn't hurt my feelings. Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
