318 cam suggestions

Now we're getting somewhere. You need low end torque that will pull hard from idle and rev nicely to about 5200.
without machining for much higher compression, like Toolmanmike, i'd look towards stock 340 cam but with a little less duration (204 / 214?) and 3.23 geared rear.
With 10:1 cr ?
If that is what he's got.
