if it's for a road car, 4K. if it's for a race car, 3K.
i have 4K with bigport 3K head and 7KE injection etc.. motor is set up for 5500rpm and it has a great power band from 5500 to 8000rpm.
if i was to do it again (for a street car) i would use a small port 3K head, get better pistons and a larger lift but smalle rduration cam.
if i was to do it again for a race car, i would get bigger lift cam but similar duration, roller rockers, roller lifters if i could make em fit, much lighter short pistons, quad TB's
or i'd get a 4AG 
4000 to spend is a lot, especially on a K motor.. for street, i think 7000 is a sensible redline (maybe 7500), but to get them to perform is tough (if you have to work it all out), whereas you could get a 4AG in there for that much, and it would be a better overall package..
the only reason you would stick with a K motor is for cheapness, for DIY'ness, or because you are restricted to by racing rules..
