Over bore: How far is too much ?

THin wall,thick wall,it's an urban myth really. Any block from any year could be either depending on the casting process and core changes.

Have it sonic checked like said.

100% correct! Dates should only matter if you have a super rare car or you are going for a 100 point restoration where you are anal about factory pant drips. I have a 1976 360 in the garage that is 40 over and it was my daily driver (driven very hard) for about 7 years with no problems.
