Dennis, I would look at a hydraulic roller cam no more than 550 lift.
Or call bullit cams. I'd also put a 2200 rpm stall converter or one that matches your cam. A low rpm cam will be an absolute waste as in a truck with gears the engine never has to lug at a low rpm.
I put a low rpm cam in a engine 1 time. Was pissed off entirely afterwards. Engine made peak power at 45 mph. Wich I never drove at that speed. And if I was pulling a trailer at that speed I dropped a gear to keep the engine at optimum power Wich was 2200 and up

Subject: Re: 1962 413 from an Imperial
Cam depends on a lot of factors; here is one very general discussion that you can review:
http://www.onallcylinders.com/2012/01/03/how-to-choose-the-right-street-cam-part-2/
Low end torque I'd guess is your end game. Anyone know what cam profile the 413 Dodge trucks and motorhomes
used? The Dodge C-800, C-900, CT-900v413, C-1000, CT-1000, IH 477 IH 534 in various years 1961 to 1971 used a
413.
http://olddodges.com/cseries.htm for example.
Thanks,
Gary H.
