Engine Scattering Speed

My immature side has a question. On a 230, what would happen if one were to keep revving it higher ? Would it let go of components or simply reach a valve float induced rpm limit?

you'd probably run out of gas first...

This from a jerk that tried it. I put a piece of broken concrete on the gas pedal and stepped back. After a few minutes it began to blow some light blue smoke. The neighbor came out in another few minutes to give me the stink eye.  Several more minutes and I had to give up. I drove it to the junk yard that afternoon.

Plymouth is right.
