89 XJ 4.6 stroker how well will a aw4 hold up with a 231, 9"s, 36's and a heavy foot!

thanks,

matt

The AW4 is a strong tranny but a heavy foot is a relative term. My guess is it won't be your weak link...u-joints or axle shafts will. I run 36" Iroks on my TJ w/ AW4...never an issue.

the same tranny is behind the turbocharged supras from what i hear, and we all know those things can get over 1000hp, so i think it will stand up to your stroker pretty well.
