which cam?

Ok I don't want to beat a dead horse but here is what I want to do on my 79 f250- edlebrock proformer intake with a 600 carb. straight up timing set headers, and a cam I am not going to touch the lower end I want to leave the motor in the truck and just wake it up a bit and not kill my bank acount. On the cams I was looking a the 260h, the 255deh, 265deh but it says needs machining done on the heads what needs to get done? also the xe 262 what will be the best? mostly drivin around town and plowing in the winter. has 35" tires on it with 410s thanks

no machine required for a cam, just a set of new springs...
