302 rev limits
How high will a stock 302 bottom end rev to. I would guess and test if i didnt care if parts ended up in my oil pan, but since i do and dont have the budget for it, i need some outside help.
Engine has 600 cfm holley, edelbrock air-gap intake, ported and polished heads, crane roller rockers, trick flow valve springs, and a crane energizer cam, 272 duration, 510 lift. Stock bottom end

302 rev limits
I don't know what the upper limit would be but I would turn my '69 Stang with a 302 (Mexican 2-bolt block, ARP rod bolts) to 7800 RPM (shift 1st, 2nd and 3rd) on a regular basis with no problems.
Good bolts to hold it together are a must. The next best thing you can do for high revs is balance.
