Can someone enlighten me on the red-line and the top sustained RPM possible
for a 116E, 1500 cc GT engine.

I've owned a couple of TR's, one with overdrive, which happily loafed along
at 3500 RPM at 70+ mph (around 2700 rpm with the OD engaged). Driving the
Moggie in the 4-5K range for hours on end CAN'T be doing any good. Or is
this 5-bolt main engine gonna be OK? Is there an option for the 4.11 rear?
Ford OD gearbox? Or am I just being anal?
