What's your plans for the motor? Bore, stroke, heads, pistons, dual carb or single. There is a lot to take into consideration when choosing a cam. For starters you need to know what RPM's you want to run? What's done to your pump? You get the point. More info would help us help you.

If its a Gen VI (6), It should be a roller cam, or at least set up for a GM factory roller cam, that's the best cam. (maybe not the best profile)
Probably peanut port heads, but should be able to pull ~4600-4800 rpm with an 'A' impeller in a Berk on a mostly stock 454.

Heads, intake & carb, exhaust system, comp. ratio, among other things will factor in on cam choice, or use a dart board.
