all depends on how much you want to spend. first do something about that open rear end. I'd be looking into a sollid roller cam. that and gears properly matched and setup will run 11s. (or make the power to)
Say....4.10 gears and do some research on what heads you have. what casting number. see what they flow stock. no sence of getting a cam .650 lift if your heads dont flow anymore past .600 (not real numbers...just examples.) then the powerband you wish it to be in. you have a 3000 stall, so a cam that has a power band of 3000-6000 should be good to start with.
