Default 454 cam recommendations.

I need some guidance from the experts in sYc. I have a 454 that I want to retro fit a hydraulic roller cam setup into it. The motor is fresh rebuild with nearly everything new. The CR is right at 10:1. The block is a 3999289 from a 73’ truck. The front of the block has the two threaded holes on each side of the cam … Thrust plate mounting? The heads are 3931063 with 2.19/1.88 valves and LS6 valve springs … they have been port matched and slight bowl work. I have full length headers into a 3” system. I have a Weiand intake and 3310-2 carb. I am putting the motor in a 70 Nova w/TH-400 and slight increase in converter stall. Rear gears are 3.42 posi. The Nova will be 95% on the street and a shot at the strip to see what it’ll turn. One of the cams I have been looking at is the factory HO454/502 hydraulic roller … good? With all that being said I need suggestions. Thanks all!
