Max bore on a 305 block

What is the max over-bore you can go for a 1990 305 chevy block while having some meat left?

.030" is easy, .060" is pushing it. You should have the block checked over professionaly before you go .060" bigger.

Even better question: Why bother? Find a 350 shortblock and rebuild it.
