Can someone please tell me what the maximum size a 289 engine can be bored safely? And a 302 engine?

it would be a stretch at 4.060

commonly, 289's are over bored at 4.030 & 4.040

it's a lot of work to make sure all your rings are over sized as well, just be sure you know what you're getting into
