And the whiplash cam should work well in it. I also agree about the cam bearings. If they look ok, leave them in. Unless the machine shop does boring and honing, then its good to remove them to fully clean all oil passages.
If you hot tank it, you have to replace the bearings. I recommend letting a shop do it (about $125).
On the block line at the factory that I worked on, we allowed them to be no more than half blocked/misaligned. If more than half the hole in the bearing and block was overlapped, we would make them replace them.
