Yet another cam recommendation question!

Wondering if anyone would care to take a stab at a mechanical cam recommendation for a 426 Max Wedge motor w/ 3 speed manual tranny? My brother is restoring a '63 Plymouth Maxie to driver/show quality so, not having the original cam grind is not an issue. Also, will have the original Maxie exhaust manifolds, and a 3.23 rear gear swap. Some 'rumpity rump' for the show field is welcomed but, hopefully not at the expense of street manners (though we know the manual tranny will help with this). I told him about the Andy Finkbeiner 451" article, and how well the old Mopar .528 cam worked with exhaust manifolds but, of course, not 'married' to it. I hope I'm not abusing the 'Charger' forum but, I'm so impressed with, and appreciate the experience of the engine builders here. Thanks Guys.
