Default what cam for stock 350?

I just picked up a complete stock 350 out of a 65k mi 86 suburban carb to oil pan for $300. I am going to take the stroker out of my car and put the 350 in it and sell my car. im just going to go over the engine & replace a few gaskets
timing chain and cam. I would like it to have decent power and going with
stock look and less cash out I was going to leave stock intake and carb.
The car is a 1972 Caprice 4 Door with 700r4 2800 stall and shift kit and 373 posi in the rear.

A Comp 260 camshaft would be a good camshaft to put in there.

260H High Energy™ is the perfect cam for vans, family sedans, pickups and tow vehicles.
This cam provides exceptional power and a gas mileage increase, especially on the highway.

anywhere from a .440 to .480 lift flat tapped hyd cam will give you good usable power just watch coil bind on the springs
