I line what Cliff said, and agree with the last post;

Compression first, cam second.

I would get a better piston with less/smaller valve reliefs;
I would deck the block, but not worry about getting it zero decked - just freshen it up;
the stock 068 cam is a very good cam, and works good with the automatic;
I was going to suggest a 744, but that might not play well with the auto.

I would also look at what exhaust is there, or what might be going there before doing any modifications (i am a bit of a purist though)....
