Default another 455 build/cam advice thread

ok, I've read through mountains of post on this site and every time I decide on a cam shaft, I read another post that changes my mind. Monies have freed up and I want to start working on this ride.

I own a 73 455 T/A, with a 72 455 out of a bonni.

currently; 72 455, 7m5 heads, Quadrajet, 400turbo trans (w/2800 stalh speed), 3:23 rear end.

I want to convert to a roller cam to avoid the additive hassles. Could someone help fill in my blanks. Now much like everyone else here, I don't want a drag strip car. I want a great running street able pump gas car with pep.

this is what I'm planning on:
"1972" - 455
6X-8 heads (new springs/seats, not planning on porting and polishing)
Ram Air 3 exhaust manifolds
Quadrajet (no plans on changing)
400turbo trans (w/2800 stalh speed), (no plans on changing)
3:23 rear end

CAM Choice: ??? (I was thinking RAM IV roller equivalent, but then I
read my 3:23's would not be enough to utilize the CAM)
