Roy,

I had a 428 CJ that I had bored to .060 and given all the clearances being correct it was extremely nerve racking to get stuck at a long stop light for fear of over heating. Many people sleve these things and never have a problem, but I would be uneasy doing that. A .030 over bore is not problem and works great even at long stop lights. Ultimately it is your decision but if it were me.....
