The best cam I've found for "low" compression 400 builds with mostly stock drivetrain is the Crower 60240. 210/222/112 LSA. It makes around 12" vacuum at 700-750rpms. Strong power off idle and in the normal driving range. You don't need a stall converter or tall rear gearing.

The Crower 60916 is better suited for higher compression builds and at least 3.42 gears with a manual trans or 2400-3000rpm converter. It makes great power in a 400 build but too "soft" off idle and low RPM's for the kind of build you are doing......IMHO.....
