you can go that high for a shift, but i wouldnt think you would need to since alot of the power is down low. I would say make a little accomodation to stay on the lower side of 4000 with a stocker if you dont need to be up there. Try 3 to 35

You can spin a stock 351M to 4500-5000 rpm pretty easily. They are tough and hold up well. To make it better you can fix the timing chain and add a bigger carb with a better exhaust and it will really wake her up. Keep it under 5500 if you like your rods and valves in one piece. The stock exhaust valves sometimes lose their heads above 5K rpm.

good luck and beat it like you stole it.
