I’ve done 4 to 3 instead of 4 to 5 before in my Mustang, but all that did is locked up the rears until I got back on the clutch. It didn’t cause any damage. I think that car had better engine protection from over-revs.

Sorry man, feel for ya.
There is no such thing as protection from mechanical over-rev. You can cut fuel or spark or whatever you want, but the engine is going to reciprocate faster than it's supposed to.

Some engines just have more margin built in or you get lucky.
