390GT/428 cam.
Similar to this one:

However:
Decent mileage--always a dream with an FE and a 352 in particular. It will remain so.
Torque--you'll get more, but you'd get a lot more with a 445 stroker. Cylinder pressure is important, but displacement drives the train here.
Rumble--a little.

Not going to get a lumpy idle with the GT/CJ cam. I ran the Crane 272 degree Energizer in a stock 68 high comp 390 and it had just a hint of a lope when cold, smoothed out when warmed up. This was in a 68 Merc Monterey with 10.5 to 1 comp ratio.

It ain't that complicated. He's got a full size car, Auto trans, likely 3.00 rear. I doubt he's got headers, unless he sprung for FPA's.

I'm partial to a hydraulic roller cam since I now have one. For me, it helped my fuel economy. I got about 0.5 to 1 more mpg when I switched from high zinc oil (needed for flat tappet) to modern oil.
