Default Highest revving engine

What is the highest revving vette engine? (All years)
Also, can the 67-69 Camaro Z/28 engine rev to 7000rpm?

If you're talking about factory tach redlines I can think of a few that redlined at 6500 RPMs including the LT-1 smallblock and the L-71 bigblock....not sure what the L-88 redlined at. If you mean how high would they actually rev before breaking, that depends on the braveness/foolishness of the operator! ...and yes, the 302 could pull 7000 RPMs no problem.

90-95 ZR1 motors are at 7200 rpm stock. Been there many times.
