Default Aluminum 5.3 blocks? All the hipe real

I am working on a project, bought a motor off of Ebay and really got screwed so I am just going to build a motor myself and KNOW whats in it.

The new aluminum 5.3 blocks, can they safely be bored out to 3.898 or maybe more, or does that push it to the edge of being useless. You guys seem to be the gurus on this stuff and I will ask all questions to you before I buy anything from now on!!!!

Thanks Davo!

Yes the 5.3 motor can be turned into a 5.7 safely.
