Keeping the stock stroke of 3.00" you can bore the cylinders to:

.030" over to make a 306 cu in or
.040" over to make a 308 cu in.

I personnally haven't seen anything greater than a .040" over bore on a stock block. It may be possible, but I'm not sure who would make a piston for anything greater than 4.040". Plus, the more you bore the less material between the cylinders which means a weaker block.
