1.6 Kent engine was used in Formula Ford, and some engines were able to be reved upto 10'000 RPM!! There is no rev limit regulations. But wouldn't be practicle on a road car.

If you're interested, have a read of the link below on the spec's and regulations for a Formula Ford engine, and everything else Formula Ford for 2004.

Formula Ford Technical Regulations.
