289 Hipo rebuild questions

I'm in the process of rebuilding my 289 Hipo it's the original vin stamped motor to my car. Its standard bore but due to a spun rod bearing the crank is turned to 20 over. Will that crank be ok to run.  I don't plan on driving the car hard since it's an automatic car. Should I stay with a solid lifter cam or is a hydraulic cam ok to run now days?

Thanks

    I believe you are saying that the crankshaft has experienced a spun a rod bearing in the past and has been repaired, his having required that the crankshaft be turned to .020" undersize; and the question being is this a sound repair process?  :-\

    Answer: Yes, done properly it'll be just fine.  ;)
