I agree with Strokerscamp, I have a 72 360 in my Duster it's 60 over thats how I got to a 412" I had my machine shop check the block over good before I did it though as I do not know what to check.It depends on the year. the 70-73 date coded 360s were cast off the same mold as the 340. Most of them can go a LOT over. I personally have gone .120" over with one and .100" over with another. Sonic checking of course is a must, but the earlier 360 castings have a lot more meat in the core. .060" is just fine for any of the 360 engines. If companies make .060" over pistons, you better believe the engines will go that far safely.
'o' ringed cylinders? blown head gaskets? ever hear of cylinder head studs? they work wonders, and now with a 40 year advancement in gasket tech.. 12.5:1 should be a cakewalk. perfect for some E-85. and as others have already said, I wouldn't think twice about giving a 360 a .060 over. don't count out the later 360's either. there tougher then you think..060 is to much for small block mopars. Because of the weak ten bolt pattern heads you will continue to blow head gaskets unless you have the cylinders o-ringed. I know from experience cuase in the early 70's I had mine bored .060 over and trw 12 and a half to one pistons and was constantly changing head gaskets.
