Boring a 302 for .60 pistons

Can anyone give me an idea of the pros and cons of having a 302 bored to .60. Open to any suggestions Thanks Paul https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Whenever you bore an engine, you run the risk of over heating. Probably less of a problem in Canada than in Arizona though. It won't clean at .040?....Joe
