Well, when i had my auto trans go out, one of the things it did was it dropped it into first at 49 MPH and held the engine at 6700 RPMs before I could get her shut down. (via Super Sun-Tach II) It didn't seem to damage the engine in any way, I had her checked over,but I would say redline would be a little under this of course.
