Quit thinking about cams till you know what your compression is and what rear gear he can live with
lots of good points above about the big gear spread with the three speed and you evidently have the 8 1/4 rear end with that 3.43 gear
did you ID the pistons yet?
if it is low compression here are some target cam keep your eye on the intake close point (early) and 200 duration (more)

ones above do also

if you find out you have high compression pistons you would consider a different set of cams
There are solid lobes out there Comp cams MM6580 560 w 1.6 525 w 1.5 261 @.020 [email protected] 153@200 (more duration than any of the HYD shown above)
but you are going to need EDM lifters, more spring, etc IDK if it is worth it for a street ride In fact I would NOT do it for a street ride MM series are race cams
no 250 cams with 550 lift with 1.6 rockers
HR cam 260 you can get 523 and 264 you can get 544 but no use looking without all the details
