Whats the rev limit on a 351C?
 

Does anybody know the redline limit on a 351C? I dont have a rev limiter and i dont wanna over rev it to much and i have no idea what the limit is...Ive gotten all different kinds of answers so i figured id ask you guys and see what you say?

Are we talking stock here? 4v or 2v? Safe bet would be no more than 6500. But I know the 4v heads make more power above that. I don't think the guts are forged so I wouldn't go higher than that.

yes, its a stock 4bbl 351...I have no idea on the mileage...As far as i know its stock, ive heard it has had a cam put in it but im not possitive about that...The guy who i got the engine from passed away so its kinda hard to ask him questions about it...

We had a car We took to Bonneville back in the early '90's. It was a C/STR Roadster. We could hold it at WOT for several minutes between 7000-8000. Unless you want to break things, staying 10-25% under that limit should make it last a while. (If it's built right, fresh and has good parts in it)

This is probably not a great comparison due to the difference in application, but it can possibly serve as a very upper limit.

Hope it helps,
