Default 36 LB block

Just aquired a 36 LB engine that has been in a barn for 30 years or more. Pulled the heads today and found some caked rust in the cyl. Presently soaking with the acetone/ATO mix. Turns out this was a period hot engine. Bored 80 over. My question is, how far can I go over the .80 to clean it up. I like the big bore and do not want to sleve unless absolutely necessary.
