You might try a drill-bit test.
By Dave Shoe - 09/17/2002 7:45:24 PM; IP 12.104.160.195
Give the 15/64" drill bit test a trial before you retire the pistons. While it's not likely your block can be taken .080 over, there is no way to be sure until you check. Ford offered plenty of surprises.

The drill bit test doesn't check for core shift issues, but it is a cheap and easy way to determine whether you've got water jackets that offer thick cylinders.
