Windsor strokers can turn some Rev's too. I have a self imposed 6400 limit on my 393 and I hit it often shifting gears. 7000 rpm is quite possible with a good build, especially on the top end. I have Vic Jr. knockoff heads and a fairly small cam and it would continue to rev if I didn't have the rev limiter. The aftermarket heads really make a heck of a difference.

If you are concerned about the bottom end, you could run spacers in your windsor and a cleveland crank. Not really needed for a primarily street car.

A 6500 limit is fine with me and I know the 3.00" mains are ok with that and more, but I start worrying about durability with the stroke going over 3.5". I have no problem investing in this engine, but not if it has to be freshened all the time afterward. I wish my 351C hadn't been maxed on the rebuild or I'd build that with some CFI heads.
