Rev as high as you want, it is your engine.
Keep in mind that at that RPM range you are on the down side of the horsepower curve and that those extra revs generally come at the expense of torque.

I ran my old 330 ( 7.4) to 5200 for 360 hrs intermittently after a cam and intake change before I rebuilt it. It has 4 bolt mains but it also has a cast crank and pistons and small rod bolts.

The cam I put in my 454 has rpm range 1600-5800 and I will set the rpm limit to 5100 to make the engine last.

Re: 5000 on 7.4
Im running the 7.4 with a stage one procharger on it now with a 28 labbed bravo prop and running 71 on gps at 4700 rpms and thinking about changing the pulley on blower to raise the boost from 5lbs to 7lbs and would like to put the rev limiter up to 5000
