Great project. Father and Son deal also... way cool!
No matter what you choose for cam specs, make sure it'sa roller! Flat tappets and today's oil selections make it very difficult to keep the cam alive. There's a reason the OEM's went to roller cams... OIL! For a rear gear, on the street 3.25 to 3.50 are my faves, dependent on tire OD. I've got 3.90 in the coupe and it's alright... until you hit a highway. It gets old listening to high rpm's hour after hour, but for staying local... it's a blast!
