Maybe consider the 350hp 327 corvette cam. It has a lift of .444 or .447, something right in there. I got 18 miles to the gallon and ran a 14.1 in the quarter at 2700' elevation with a 3 on the tree. It was a 350 with flat tops (4 valve reliefs), bored .030, camel humps with .194 intake valves, edelbrock intake, rochester 4bbl, HEI, and stock 373 posi. It was a great everyday driver on the street and if your running an auto you wouldn't have to worry about the stall. It doesn't thump much though. I later put a .520 lift in that engine and it ran with it, but I took it back out because it didn't work as well because I drove it every day and around town you miss the low end power band of the lower lift cam. I was also thinking I was floating the valves at higher rpms because of the springs, but I don't know for sure, but it was too much for a daily driver, in that engine, and with those springs. For a good sound, maybe look at the smallest comp thumpr cam. I seem to recall that it was around .479 lift. It might be borderline high side for the lift on stock springs, but I have heard alot of people state that .480 lift is the maximum to use on stock springs, but I have never investigated it thoroughly.
