Default cam suggestions please

I'm new to this ls based stuff so some help would be appreciated.
I'm building a 94 ford ranger 4x4 running a 5.3 out of a 2000 Silverado w 350 turbo behind it. I'm wanting to put a cam in the motor, what I'm looking for is to run no bigger than a 2500 stall truck has plenty of gear so that's not an issue would like it to make a little noise from the cam
Purpose of truck is very limited street, mostly trails and mud so rpm is not a bad thing.thank again for any help

We can make bigger but this will work for the trail & mud.

Whats a bigger cam that would need close to the 2500 stall, I have to buy a converter anyways for this build. Or maybe a factory ls style cam that would give a significant gain. If custom would be the way to go I would even do that
