Check the classified section on racing websites, Craigslist and local paper for a good used 4 bolt block near you then bore it out. Just make sure there is no sign of rust caused by water standing in it.
As for the cam I like the solid lifter cams from speedwaymotors site. They list their cams based on what intake, carb, heads and RPM you run. PRC camshafts make nice power too, but I have had them fail during break-in if, I did'nt switch to low preasure valve springs and do atleast 3 times the break-in.
No matter what cam you choose don't forget to use a good cam break-in additive in the oil.
