It depends on your block casting. Some are thicker than others depending on the cast of your particular block. However, .040 is about all your going to get out of most late model 302 blocks.
Not so sure about taking it out .040 over. I wouldn't go that far without having the block sonic checked prior.
As they said -- no one except a competent machinist can tell you what's safe --- AFTER he's checked the wall thickness on each cylinder of your block. The stock thin walled castings were notorious for core shift --- .030" may be all you get out of it; others have more. You tell us what happened...
