Default cam selection help

I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.i have a 66 c10 swb.trying to pick a cam. Truck has 355, flat tops,186 humps with screw in studs and pocket ported,650 holley, torker 2. Or performer intake .I have both.truck has 373 gearing th400, stock converter truck weighs 3500 with me in it. I'm really new to this stuff.i have helped my father build small blocks in the past.but sadly most of it went in one ear and out the other.i want a cam that has a very Lopey sound. But I have pb,ps,vacuum advance and vacumm secondarys.so still needs to make enough to run the items listed.oh yeah and my current setup is hydraulic flat tappet.and because of prices that's what I want to stick with...Thanks for any help

flat tappet or roller?
FT I wouldnt go any bigger than an Isky 270 mega cam
They are old but work and run hard will work with a stock converter but would recommend one a little larger like a 2400 or so. Keep the performer intake
It will have enough lope to let others know you got something cooking, pull hard and operate PB just fine.
