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.
