300L6 Rebuild

I have a bone stock 1983 300. I'm going to send it to get rebuilt soon. I want to put a more aggressive cam in it and a 4 barrel intake manifold from Offenhauser and an exhaust manifold from an EFI 300 because they are slightly bigger. I'd like some suggestions on what cam I should put it and what carburetor CFM I should go with.

Have you looked here to see what others have done?
You can ask the question there too.
You should tell them what you want to use the truck for, the transmission and axle ratio.

If you are not raising the compression ratio, then do not go to wild with the camshaft.
