    I deleted my original response since this has been edited to make corrections by OP.

    Where in Sweden are you? Lots of hot rod and custom car activity there.

    i wouldn't go any higher than 5,000. Have you done any balancing/blueprinting? Are the rods stock? What type of Ross pistons etc?

    Not sure what you mean by "cut out" but I think I'd cringe going over 6200 with that setup (assuming aftermarket 11/32" rod bolts). Maybe try a different cam and shoot for torque instead.

    Not unless it was built and balanced for that rpm. It'll rev and go like hell till a skinny 327 rod breaks or a bearing spins.

    How much valve spring seat pressure ? If you wanna wind it up, your gonna need strong springs that match your cam.... I like 110 for the street
     
  10. Mustang6147 is asking the right questions...
    Your valves and springs need to be up to the task. Valve float will ruin your engine's life in a hurry. If you don't have all the specifics, the engine builder will know what the motor can handle—I'd ask it's creator.
