Camshaft selection - 427 S.B.C - DART Motor

Help wanted on selecting a 'streetable' hydraulic roller camshaft.

My '32 Ford Roadster that will be mainly street driven, and it 'tips the scales' at around 1210kg (1300kg including me)

My drivetrain is as follows:

427 C.I Small Block Chevy – Based on a DART SHP block. 4.125” Bore x 4.0” Stroke
RHS Ported Alloy Heads (Compression 8.5:1) Max. lift is set at .600”
(220cc Intake runners. 72cc Chamber, Angle Plug, 2.02” Intake & 1.6” Exhaust Valves)
B&M 420 Mega Blower. C/W 2 x 750 C.F.M matched Edelbrock Carbies.
(Blower drive has been setup so that a final compression ratio of around 10.5 to 1 is achieved)
Callies ‘Compstar’ forged crank & 6” ‘Compstar’ forged rods
Custom made ‘Racetech’ forged pistons.
Morel hydraulic roller lifters, and 1.6:1 Comp Cams ‘Ultra Pro’ roller rockers and Comp Cams pushrods – 7.2” length
And many thanks to the input from the Hotrodders forum - a billet 'Rollmaster' timing chain set.
All of the above has been purchased, so I don't really want to change anything

Gearbox – Turbo 400 (Modified-but fully automatic) 2500 stall converter - I may need to go lower to a 2000 Stall converter - not higher.

Rear Drive – 9” Inch ‘Detroit Locker’ 3.50:1 Ratio
Rear Tyres – 31.7” Tall (805mm) - this all works out to 60mph at 2000rpm - on the old motor.

Any suggestions on what make/specs I should be looking at for my hydraulic roller camshaft. (OEM/stepped nose)
Must have reasonable street manners and I am not intending to rev over 6200rpm.
Thanks in advance.
