The 16cc pistons are full dish. You shouldn't have any issues with a .500" lift cam. Of course, always check piston/valve clearance.

As for boring blocks, it's better to sonic test before boring to see how far they'll go. I wouldn't take a 289 or 302 to .060", but I've had some 351W's that went to .060" safely.
