One other thought.. My old motorhome had a 454 in it with the turbo 400, 3 speed transmission. At 70MPH that sucker was reving but good. I don't know the exact RPMs as it didn't have a tach. But, it took a little getting used to. I drove it thousands of miles screaming like that. It never complained and it wasn't hurt at all. If a 454 can go thousands of miles like that in 100 degree weather I'm sure a 350 can do it. There's less metal being slung around in there. I was pulling a Honda CRV behind it all day like that too. Some days I miss that 454.
