Crank is fine, did you use full groove main bearings? As this supplies full time oiling to the rod bearings.
A cam some overlap will be ok as it cools the combustion chamber.
I ran a MP .509 lift, 292 duration, 108 overlap cam in a Roots blown MP shortblock with Edelbrock heads. The cam was in there and I ran it. LOL
Im pretty sure I had 9.5to1 CR and I ran it on the street most of the time.
Always on pump gas and kept timing around 32 degrees.
A wide 114 LSA is great for a track car and some street use.
On the street a 112 LSA seems to work well.

Yes on the full groove mains. Also Milodon 8 qt pan w HV oil pump. Im open on a cam that will work good in my combo. A cam swap is nothing if it will make my combo work. Will also use the methanol water injection if that will help.
I have TWO forced induction cars that I try to run and they have both been subjected to "blow thru" modifications tha included replacing the floats with "nitrophyl" (solid) floats that won't/can't collapse.
Other than adjusting the air/fuel ration to achieve a user-friendly 11.5:1 ratio under boost, and keeping plenty of fuel pressure to the car, I haven't had any issures, leakage or otherwise. The carbs are both 4150 Holley 750 double pumprers.
I cannot stress strongly enough, the critical importance of acquiring some sort of wideband A/F ratio meter to monitor the richness/leanness of the carb settings under boost.
The one I use is made by F.A.S.T. and is really easy to install and use
Those things are not cheap, but I simply cannot IMAGINE trying to do a forced-induction installation without one. I just couldn't do it... and if you miss on the "tuneup" on the lean side, you just bought a motor...
Just a word to the wise...

Supercharged is but the option of turbo/s is an options.

I have a 340 build im just starting with a paxton novi 2000. The car is a 70 original h code dart. . Motor is being assembled this week. Ill start posting as I go.
Don't forget the wideband O-2 meter; it will be invaluable in getting the mixture right... I can't stress that enough. Without it, you're putting your motor at risk.
Seriously....

I too have one of those Mr.Norm's Paxton setups that I want to use on a 340 sometime next year. I was considering using one of the efi units like the FAST EZ-EFI or Edelbrock or Holley offers instead of a carb, has anyone used one and how well did it work for them?

i've been thinking looking into this the past few weeks and it seems the problem with efi and a blow through supper charger is finding one that works with boost. the new holley system can work but it will have to be updated to a different software and says it can only handle 600 hp witch i could see being attained pretty quickly.
