I want to integrate my Reminders with my calendar. I would like to time block my calendar. Is there a way to adjust the reminder from the standard 30 minutes to an hour or more without making the task a calendar event?

Well, Apple (sort of) integrated Reminders and Calendar in the Sequoia upgrade, but alas you still can't time block.
I just sent the following to Apple with a link to a detailed analysis and suggestions for implementing a more sensible solution.
I was delighted Apple responded to requests for Calendar / Reminder integration, but implementation is very disappointing. The reason behind this hot topic was clearly to eliminate duplication between Calendar and Reminders (ie Tasks) and improve time management, but unfortunately there seems to be a lack of understanding that the time required to do tasks differs from task deadlines (ie ‘Remind me on…’). So, despite long-awaited upgrade there’s still no way to time-block tasks required to meet deadlines in Calendar without duplication!! 😩
Worse, my Calendar now messily overpopulated with every task ever made with a date attached: 852 of them. Nightmare.
The new solution seems to completely miss the point. Like you, I want to time block when I’ll work on tasks iN Calendar, but instead I now have a Calendar with major deadlines lost amongst tiny stuff like ‘buy milk' or ‘call X'. It’s really disappointing.
If you feel the same way Paul please do add your suggestion to Apple’s feedback site too. Feedback - Calendar - Apple
With macOS Sequoia you can add your reminders from the Reminders app into the Calendar app. Just choose it from the list of calendars (produced by clicking on the little calendar icon at the top left of the Calendar app) and selecting Scheduled Reminders.
Either in Reminders or the Calendar app you can select a time before the event to be reminded. Use the Early Reminder > Custom option and enter the number of minutes, hours, days weeks, or months prior to the event for your notification.
