Default 5.3 truck engine

Anyone know how far a iron block 5.3 can be bored? I know up to 5.7 specs but any beyond that?

get the 5.3 sonic tested and go accordingly from there ive seen in my own eyes 5.3's bored to 6.0's but that was the highest ive ever seen but only permitting if the block looks good after being tested so you know the strength of your walls
