60 over? LT1

Has anyone gone 60 over on a stock block? Is it possible? Safe?

not recommended

Going past .030 can lead to troubles. The stock blocks arent known for their bore thickness. Besides if you did find a block with thick enough bores to go .060 you would have no room left for future rebuilds. The best idea is to go no larger with the bore than you have to to get the cylinders to clean up..
