I think you will have to have it sonic checked to go .060, most people try to go .040 or less. Sorry I cant help you with the price haven't had any work done in a while.

In my experience, boring has been part of a package deal that also includes
cleaning & inspection & whatnot.

So, I guess the answer is, "it depends." Call around and ask....

Boring is pretty cheap. I think you can get your block bored, magnafluxed, sonic checked, etc all for less than $200

My local shop bore my block .030 over for 350 $(CAN money) and it's include hot tank, clean, inspect, new cam bearing, new frost plug and they paint the block the colour of my choice, blue ford of course. They also change the tips of the pipe that goes in to the block for the prestone. I was supprise !
