I'm not an FE guru, and it depends on more parameters than just the cam, (heads, intake, carb) but neither cam is going to give you what you want.

Go with a flat tappet hydraulic, or retrofit hydraulic roller. Intake duration should be in the 222 - 224 (@.050) range, and exhaust up to 232 - 234 range if you use a dual pattern cam. This should put your torque peak at 3500 - 3800 RPM, and HP peak at 5500 - 5800 RPM. Motor should idle at 750 - 850 RPM with a nice rumpeta-rumpeta lope, and pull like a diesel from off-idle - up.
