No, at .060 the spacing is still ok, and makes an engine that is about 1320
ci.  The 1380 conversion uses pistons that are .100 overbore, and it is
highly recommended to offset bore once that size is reached, although some
blocks are still ok.  The maximum overbore is .110, and those absolutely
must be done as an offset bore.
