Naw I aint worried about the heat. Overboring the motor is only going to let the heat transfer to the coolant easier anyways. I just know the cylender walls are thin on 400's due to the increased bore [4.125"] and anything over .030" should be checked first.

a 400 punched .030 over is fine..but anymore than that...is risky IMHO.

Anything over .030 on a 400 block requires block filler. This is a strength issue more than a temp issue. Once you go over the .030 threshold and block filler is used, consider yourself as the proud owner of a "race only" block.
Try and go for a light hone for clean-up instead of an all out over-overbore.

i've got a .04 over 400 block, bare right now. 400 overheating problems are WAY over exaggerated. most of the people that go around telling people "oh your never gonna keep that 400 cool, they all overheat" have never even had one. and then if you ask people who have had them like the 3 or 4 people in this thread, they all say no problems. with a good cooling system (4 core, high flow pump, ect.) you shouldn't have any problems keeping a 400 cool.
as for being .06 over, that is pretty far for a 400, but all that matters is that your machine shop stands behind their work, then if problems result from it take it back to them.
