Hi Lane,
You can get 4 K out of a pair, but unless you have a BIG
exciter you'll need to grid drive the tubes.
4-1000A's get a little unstable at 5000 volts and above, especially
on ten meters, so you may have a little fight on your hands with
stability. But it probably won't be anything you can't cure.
