Can you safely run a block that is bored .090 over?

Wow, I wouldn't.  For some reason the song, "Hot, Hot, Hot" comes to mind.

.060" is as far as you should go on a street driven vehicle.

Do they even make pistons for that size bore? I say if you wanna build a 350 go for a 383 stroker motor.

thanks

yeah you might can bore it .090 over but that would be only if you were putting sleeves in the cylinders
