2000, I have used the 392 from Ford in one of my cars and it didn't hold up well at all. First on track event it through a rod at about 5500 RPM. My recommendation is to go to Keith Craft or Roush for an engine that has a warranty as well as great performance. In the engine business you get what you pay for. The 392 from Ford is an OK engine if you are never going to push it. But it is built for a specific price point and has no warranty.
From your question about max engine speed I would think you are not leading a parade with your car, so be warned.
Thanks, db
