how many times can a 454 be punched out and wut would it end up being?

Some of the early blocks are supposed to be able to go to 4.375", which is .125" over stock. The largest I have run is 4.350" in a truck block with the 4.250" crank it was 505 cubic inches. I ran first an 8-71 blower on it, and later a Gentry turbo setup, up to 15 lbs boost, perhaps 1000 HP with no block issues.
To be safe, the block should be sonic checked for cylinder wall thickness I would think. It's very common to go to .060" over stock (4.310"). Can't tell you exactly how many bores since there are some weird piston sizes made, maybe .020" , .040" and .070" , besides the "normal" .030" and .060", and then as I mentioned even .100 and .125" over

I agree. I would sonic check anything over .060 for Mk4 blocks, especially for boosted applications. Gen V (1990?) & VI (1996?) block's cylinders are siamesed, so I believe they will take the bigger bores.
