$50 Car VS Off-Road Jeep Park - 24 Hour Build Challenge 

haha

I have lol my 96 f150 had 2 holes in the block and became a 6 cylinder. Sommna bitch ran and somehow drove 80 miles back home with no oil and 2 rods just reaming those holes the whole time. I even hit 80 in it lol. It even burned off one of the back tires. That little 5.0 said fuck the world and fuck you

good one

Sounds like an AMC.

I used one to pull a Uhual once

I thought it looked like a dessert mural too.

I thought it was rust first 😂😂

I made a post about AMCs... Before any kids, my mom and dad had an AMC Rambler American, then, growing up, my family had a 1969 AMC Rambler Classic, and then we had a 70's (I believe a '74), AMC Ambassador Station Wagon. Tough cars up until a certain point where they were made cheaply. But.. yeah, I think Scott is right, The Eagle's stock just went up from watching this video on Junkyard Digs.

I had a friend in school who had one of these and we beat the hell out of it for YEARS and it never died. Eventually someone crashed into it parked in front of his house and wrote it off. AMAZING CARS!

I got to mess with an eagle just like this in a strip job it did pretty well in 4wd on the hills unfortunately it did not like to fly like an eagle and the front tire ripped off on the landing 😅

"a day full of fun can still be had for 50 bucks (plus silly things like entry fees and fluids and such)." Those 215/75R15 General Grabber tires are about $150 each ($600 total).

🤣🤣🤣 I been saying that about my 86 astro for the past month

Same here..., started laughing so hard i Choked up my Drink!! 🤣🤣 😆👍

@@trojan6530 my knock is every bit as much a clatter as it is knock so I'm not sure it's my engine I think its my torque converter going out

Old saying

I've heard that saying a few times before, said it myself even... bit I wasn't expecting him to write "Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior" on the valve cover🤣

Gambler 50*

Yeah. Definitely a tear down. Want to see that knocking rod and what ever it was hitting.😁

It's probably a spunned connecting piston rod bearing. Judging from the type of noise. Someone absent minded person before either made a mistake changing the engine oil with the wrong filter. Leaking all the oil out. Or somehow blew out the oil filter gushing all the oil out. Causing zero lubrication. Causing the spun connecting rod bearing. The loud noise is due to the piston connecting rod bearing hitting the crankshaft journal when it's running. Course I am guessing with this AMC Eagle ?. 💪

@@rolandocurro8842 or that engine is just tired. but that amc engine will forever, just keep oil in it. they was build to last that engine, just take care of it.

I was about to say the same thing.

Poor ole gal ain’t ready to die yet. What a loyal ole lady

It may be knockin' on the door but it sure as shit ain't ready to pass through. That fucker does NOT want to quit!

@@TestECull well said

Not likely, they absolutely fix nothing!

Haha I would have jacked up the roof myself that was driving me nuts !

Turbo it!!!

That's what I was thinking. The dent doesn't look so bad that it wouldn't respond to some persuasion.

I thought putting a brick on the gas pedal and betting how long it would last would be funny, rebuilding it just to rebuild it and have something ridiculous to do ridiculous things would be pretty cool as well, maybe they could blow a rod out the side of the block and then rebuild it? Lol

I want to see them drive it into Mexico, fill the gas tank, and trade it for a bottle of tequila….. it’s running, lots of people there would appreciate that….

The engine is a six. My Dad has always told me it that is the easiest engine to rebuild and maintain.

I have plans! Not a restoration, and you'll see why when the other eagle hits youtube, but plans!

That engine will run until you try to fix it. Then it will never start again.

@@JunkyardDigs Sweeeeeeet.

@@JunkyardDigs throw in a oversized bearing and turbo it!!!

@@jeffmayo6002 exactly

Headed to Hotel California lol.

and no one answered

"For fucks sake, let me die!" AMC Eagle (probably)

More like smashing it with a battering ram

that 286 ( i think it was) was a solid motor lots of torque if not hp but it ran till it just flew apart

@@LORDOFDISCOCHICKENS 258

Owned a 76 Hornet at one point. 4.2l 6. Thing would not stop running.

@@trythinking6676 Even after you shut it off? 😝 Actually the only major systems in the car not built by AMC were the tranny (Chrysler), Transfer Case (New Process Gear), Front Axle assembly (Dana) and brakes. Other wise the body, engine and rear end were all built in house in the same facility. The brakes used their own drums and discs. The master cylinders and wheel cylinders and drums. Those they bought.

PL lolol pp000pp lol 0p00pp0p lol pppp poo pp

'i know what I got' 🤣🤣🤣

I know what you got... A PIECE OF SH*T lol

I would venture to say its a one wheel drive and the wheel that drives us the one with the least traction lol

@@mardrumming1362 but it's his POS

I like where your heads at!

Might be able to repair the one that's there tbh

@@rawr51919 yeah maybe but as long as it was fun with that knock it would need a fresh crank and rods and at that point it's just easier to pop a junk yard fresh motor in it and keep beating on it and maybe fix that one for a spare but better off just throwing it awat

Port and polish the head for a few more pony's

Fix the bottom end, and slap on a junkyard turbo from something totally unrelated. That's turning the crazy up to 11.

Making these memories is what its really all about. Some of my best memories are doing dumb car shit with my brother growing up. Cheers to your brother friend.

As a person who owns a jeep, id like to thank you.

Yes they are very special 😂

@@tims8589 I have an 07 Commander as my daily…4th AMC/Jeep I have owned since the 80s

The AMC six was actually a pretty good performer so I’m thinking you had a dud. My 1980 Eagle was great, nothing wrong with the six, but since I like the sound and power of a V8 I swapped in a 304 AMC which is probably something the factory should have done. What a nice upgrade. The 304 was bolt in to the automatic, as long as you used the 304 flexplate. Fit like a glove cuz the V8 came out of an AMC Spirit which has the same body as an Eagle.

Call it "the trail tapper" lol

Sttt

and still cooler than any of them.

And first awd in the u.s.

Maybe an Eagle build, Jeep Cherokee style running gear.. The 258 is a tough six..

Time for another manscaped video

Nice! I’m resting an 86 Eagle wagon like this one, see my channel

Raising those those two must have been one wild ride

@@GeorgiaRidgerunner never a dull moment!

Eagle Talon is NOT an AMC

That car was made by Chrysler an Mitsubishi here in US

Its a DSM

@@MrHotrodharry actually...it is AMC sold to eagle then sold to Chrysler

AMC sold to Chrysler and didn't make it past 1988 a couple years before the talon ever existed. AMC was solely bought just for the Jeep line. So your Wrong DSM is Mopars Import side Not a Dam thing to do with AMC.

That would be something they could do a restoration project on

A piston rod, but yeah this thing is a real trooper and its one reason the Eagle is probably my favorite car of all time and any sketches of cars that my brain dreams up tend to be car-like but 4wd and lifted XD

@@Avetho The 4.2 does have a good reputation and if he can get the pan off, he can replace bearings without even removing the engine.

Yeah shine up the crank in the car without pulling the motor throw in a over sized bearing and I bet it will run for years

@@alan6832 He's gotta pull the engine, or at least take the head off with the oil pan to remove one of the pistons, he said in the Premiere Chat at some point that its definitely a bent conrod (said something like "wait for it, bent rod, you'll see" or something, though that wasn't verbatim since it is the next morning now), so the entire time he drove it the engine was running a cylinder down at least. Truly that only makes it more impressive :P

@@Avetho He probably can't get the pan off anyway, since it's usually too close to the cross-member; but if he can, he can see if a rod is bent or not, I don't know what would make him so sure, but if so then it's so.

Noooooooooo... my 1st car I bought. A 1984 Mercury Grand Marquis Coupe(2door) needed some rear differential gear oil. The 1st guy I brought it 2 said it needed whole new rear end. I knew that wasn't the truth even tho I'm not mechanic & only 22. He than tired to say you should sell it to me and I'll fix it up to run in my demo derby. I told him he was crazy and found another guy I knew of with a shop and knowledge and he fixed her for me for 190bucks! Thank God for the other guy Michael!

@@josephblackwood4001 Grand Marquis! Those were nice cars!!! My dad had a 77 Granada with a similar body style but the grand marquis were nicer and had more luxury features.

Unfortunately,it threw a rod

Roll a new bearing in (just the one), cut/weld lengthen that cv shaft , dump in some transmission additives, and do it again ;)

That's because it was built right, not like modern engines that explode before they even think about knocking that loudly. This is what a skookum engine looks and sounds like; absolute fucking hell and still shrugging off a day's worth of trail beating. This engine shows why I refuse to accept as fact anyone who tells me modern engines are built better. They just simply aren't. They won't tolerate this kind of shenanigans.

@@joshonthetubeI'd like to see that, too. If it works I'll try it on my rod knock engine. Mine starts smoking after running about 3 minutes so it is probably too far gone for just a bearing now, however.

We now have proof that procrastination works. He just waited a month or so and the engine opened itself up and showed him the rod

Same engine that was in the Jeep for decades

That is at least 120% _Mood_ and it is my mood.

This damn thing took a conrod knock and still kept on trucking, that goes to show they don't make em like they used to anymore, if this was anything modern RIP engine

Funny thing is.... even when AMC's do have a rod let go, it almost never ventilates the block. Might go out through the pan, though. AMC blocks are heavy duty nickle-iron. When my machinist did my 401 a few years ago, I commented on using a diamond bit when he bored it out as an AMC block will eat steel bits. He didn't believe me. He phoned me mad as hell one day when he was boring out the block and he claimed it was taking a one and one half bits to bore a single cylinder. I asked if he was using diamond bits, to which he replied "no". He then switched to a diamond-tip bit and it took only two bits to to re-bore the whole block. AMC stuff was tough as nails. They were always 4th place in a three-place race. They had a thing or two to prove. Let's also not forget that even after Chrysler acquired AMC, Chrysler promptly discontinued their Slant 6 and produced the AMC six all the way 'til 2008. Not only that, but Chrysler took AMC's V8-head technology and applied it to their LA-based V8s and that's where we get the lovely "Magnum" engines of the 90's and early 2000's.

"I'm a grower not a shower, I swear!"

are you sure you want THAT Eagle?

@@derpydog1008 I want any eagle. It's in better shape than my XJ.

Oh, and to clarify, I have an engine that would work in it, and I can straighten out the roof.

yeah, and unlike tv you can go back and watch it at any time, you dont have to be there when it airs
