I wouldn't bore it any more than necessary to clean up the bore. Should be able to go .060" any more than that you would need to sonic check the bores for thickness.
Would also need custom pistons for anything over .060"

I've read somewhere that some blocks can't even take .040".... i would sonic test to find out how much you can actually go without over doing it.
