Dan,

60 Over is about as big as you want to go and still remain reliable. Personally I wouldn't go over that. Time for a new block, or V8 swap... ( I'd look for a new block. I love them stovebolts.)

I agree that you shouldn't go over .060. But maybe you can have your block resleaved.

thanks

thanks for the help i be putting a 307 in for now yes .060 over is a lot of bore but i did not do. and it would cost $600.00 to resleeved it. it is a good idea but a lot of money. and again thanks for the advice.

307 ?? !! Unless it's a freebee I wouldn't bother.
I think the inline six is sexier and after resleeving, bottom end rebuild and a quick valve job that motor will purr. Rebuild that stovebolt and get another 100,000 trouble free miles.

305/307's are prone to valve guide failure with great frequency, and absolutly suck on gas milage.

.....but, that's just my opinion...
