B767 Aerodynamics

First post from a newbie, so please redirect me if this should be in another section. I am a 767 line pilot and a sim instructor and I have been unable to get answers to questions about high speed flight characteristics of the 767. My belief from anecdotal information is that the 767 has no bad habits such as mach tuck, but it would be nice to have a better reference than "I have heard" when asked the question.
I am looking for info, books, papers etc. discussing Boeing's flight testing of the 767 in the high speed regime. Specifically, what Mach was it tested to, what is MMO predicated on (structural or aerodynamic limit?), and what are the flight characteristics once MMO is exceeded? My AOM provides little or no information on the topic.

Any Boeing experts on this forum?
