I agree with fsd. Either cam will perform better with a higher stall than stock. Which one to get, I do not know.
If your truly undecided on the cam, I was told that 274 would be relatively mild in a 250. Maybe not as mild as a you want, but the 264, may be too mild. If you git on the horn with clay Smith and talk with them, they can set up a grind in grey area for you. I almost had them do a 268 grind for me but some of my friends talked me into more. It's only $20 extra too!
Fsd is the guy to talk to about which stall to select, but you can also find countless posts of people on the forum with so many various cams on different engines that have so many drivability issuesor even idle issues that are only remedied by either less cam or more stall. And while the engine is out of the car, get that distributor curved, if not by fsd then someone who knows what they are doin. It will take that much more guesswork out of gettin the very most out of your car and the new build.
Hope that gives a teeny bit more insight.
