A: I suppose in a light enough car and built, the 200R4 would be okay. I 
sure wouldn't use one in a full size Jeep that's going to pull some weight! 
I may be getting an AW4 to put into my J4000 behind my 304. I figure it'll 
handle it fine, since the 304 isn't as strong as a 4.6L stroker. (it's just 
the trans controls I'll have fun with!)

Someone on the AMC Forum runs a manual valve body eguipped 200-4R in an AMC 
and loves it.
>From what I've read on them they are the cream of the crop for Overdrive 
automatics when built right, Low weight, small size dependable and they 
don't suck up a lot of horsepower to run them. They really work well in 
retrofits, becasue they don't require space to clear enlarged cases. They 
are the same length as a Turbo 350, pretty much a bolt in replacement for 
them. I'd still just fine a two wheel drive AW4, It's meant to go behind the 
4.0L and doesn't have th efunky 3.08 first gear ration that encourages the 
lunging shift to second gear becasue of to much ration spread. Anyone 
running a AW4 behind and AMC V-8? I'd like to know how they hold up.
