302 redline?????

i think i have a rebuilt 302 out of a mustang or other ford car, i say that becuz of the oil pan, i have two drain plugs, (front and rear), its carbed and everything but idk wut rpms it can safely see, ive had it to 5 grand while gettin my *** out of a mud hole, and it still runs fine, when i first got it, it had no leaks wut so ever, but i think after i reved it high i have a bad rear main seal, or wutever, idk where its comin from, but im not worried about it cuz it still runs like a champ.

If it's stock I think the redline is 6k. I try not to get the 302 in my wifes car higher than 5.5k though.
