Re: 454 engine
That's actually one of the preferred castings. They rarely have any problem going .100 over, most will go .125 over and still have enough cylinder wall thickness for good ring seal. If it's a 4-bolt, it's about as strong of a production casting as GM made, a preferred starting point for an engine that can be run hard. Really hard.

BBC block castings up to the year 1978 had more metal throughout the castings.
After 1978, GM used less material in order to lighten up the block.
