Do not think there is any "Maybe" about it. Your Block is .060 over and is still great for numbers.

I have been putting it out there for years too. Dan gave me the info and my family had a 66 Catalina Station Wagon with a 389 and thin bores are what killed her.

I will know a lot more when I do the whole block and diagram it all. I am pretty sure the 67 block is a good one.
I will do my std 455 block and my 71 .030 400 block also. And when I pull the heads on the .060 455 HO block I will post them up too.
Its a great tool and worth every penny of the 135$ I spent on it.
Will also come in handy when I do some Jim Hand style porting to a set of 96s for my brothers 4.25 stroke 400 block.
