6.0 iron block overbore allowance

Tell me about the 6.0 iron block cylinder wall thickness. Is an .030 overbore acceptable for 575 horse combination? [Carburetor, no power adders]

575hp is easy for a 6.0L if you know what you are doing!!! Some folks go .060 over and build a 416ci out of them..

.030 is okay, anything over that needs a sonic testing on the block.
