You would be lucky if you got 3,000 rpm out of it stock. Anyway have fun finding parts for that thing. Stock hp was 250 at 2,400 rpm and stock torque was 630 at 1,600 rpm.
This thread was linked from one I started. Here is what I found.

"For comparison, GMC produced less than 5,000 V-12's and we estimate less than 200 remain."
