Whoa, did you say "bored .060 over"? Thats a bit too much for me. Means that block has had it and wont be getting rebuilt ever

Def a " no go" if it were my money. Find a 420a, have it bored .020( might only need a hone??) and have a shop put all the forged internals in.
 
like boost97gst. that block has had it. if its bored that much over than how many times has it been rebuilt. and what else has been done to it besides being bored. whats the reasons its been bored so much over. how many miles are on that block. all these and more are what I would really question. with forged internals your prob planning on push more power than you would prob want to if it had stock internals. and I wouldn't trust the block to hold up to what your wanting to do.
