there's some factory cam info in the Bubbafiles,
M-Block 351M/400 Parts Reference
don't miss the caution in bold red letters about 1/2 way down

i'd definately use a dual pattern cam with D5(1975) or later heads, they need all the help they can get on the exhaust side and that's what the DEH cams are for.
don't forget that just about any aftermarket cam will need springs and/or retainers to avoid mechanical interference
