From what I know about them, FE blocks are not high revvers. 5,000 would be about tops for a mild street motor, I would guess............maybe 5,500. The valvetrain is probably the biggest factor there.
But we'll see what our engine guys say.

IMHO, 5000 is about tops, much more than that and you risk the chance of floating the valves.Ken Thomas

Yeah,When I was 16 my ride was a 50 chevy coupe,One night Dad let me drive his 63 Galaxie 390 interceptor, I pulled up to a bunch of my buddies and started reving her up,then she kinda sputtered and quit ?????? Called Dad who was one of the best mechanics in St.Louis and told him Man I don't know what happened just won't start,he showed up in my old chevy crawled in the Ford and cranked it over and instantley knew what happened. Let me tell ya it was a long long ride home.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
