The General Motors sourced 151 cubic inch Iron Duke inline four engine became standard equipment in 1981, as AMC's 258 cubic inch inline six became optional. Two smaller subcompact models, the AMC Eagle Kammback, based on the AMC Spirit sedan, and the Eagle SX/4, based on the Spirit liftback, joined the Eagle line. A Select Drive option, which allowed the Eagle to run in two wheel drive mode and be switched to four wheel drive via a dashboard switch, was offered as a mid year fuel economy measure.
