Machine shop called me today saying the block was done.
Said the largest they would go and it be safe for racing is 3.880 bore. And that is with sonic checking the block.
Which, if I combine that with a 4 inch crank will give me a 6.2L engine.
Now to go spend $900 on a set of Wiseco forged pistons, $500 for Callies Compstar forged H-beam rods, and $915 for a forged 4 inch Eagle crank.

You'll be just fine and enough meat on the cylinder walls.
