You would need MAJOR heads with huge valves, HUGE cam, Radical intake,
High compression and a lotta $$$ (which you may have) to spin it that high...Similar to a BOSS 302...Also the 5/16" rod bolts couldn't handle it if it could spin up that high, neither could the cast crank...I guarantee that the factory heads will not flow that much air for that much RPM even if they are modified...
