I think that I'd probably try something like an Isky 264 Mega cam. It is really more duration than you probably need by a little bit but with the 108 lobe sep it'll run great and build a lot of mid range torque especially in a 400cid.

Comp Cams 252H is probably more appropriate if the engine was the stock compression ratio.

Thank you all for the wonderful knowledge. I ended up paying my machinist to straighten it and it went in great. Summit made it right and reimbursed me for the machine shop bill also so that was a plus! Anyways i have it almost put together and hopefully will have it in the pickup one of these weekend shortly if the snow ever stops lol.
