assuming that its a 6.0 iron truck block .030 is fine, and most people will tell you to have it sonic checked for wall thickness if you want to go .060 over. either way .030 is fine and there are many many people running those blocks like that (including myself).

I think this is the third time I've seen / answered this question today. Can't blame anyone though, search doesn't work.
