AW4 Strength

Ok, I've been contemplating rebuilding my motor and wanting to go bored and stroked and now my question is about the transmission. What is the rated HP/FT lb of the AW4? Where could I find that info out? I can't seem to find anything at all anywhere, so I now rely on you all's knowledge. Any stroker guys have problems with the AW4 and your power? Thanks guys.
 
i have not run one but from what i hear they are very strong and you should be fine with a stroker install a good tranny cooler and you should be good.
 
The AW4 is stout, you won't have any problems at all with a stroked and built up 4.0 L. I have one, and a bunch of friends have them.
 
I'm running one behind a 401, about 400/450 rwhp/tq at times. It's starting to sag really bad on the 1-2 shift, but I got it used and have no idea of the mileage. I think a fresh one will hold up to anything you'd want in an XJ.
