Welcome to CO from the left coast

What year is your 455? The compression ratio has to be taken in to account in order to select a cam and 1971 and older 455 have a higher compression ratio then later 255.

That really doesn't help. You need to know what year it is and if it was ORIGIANLLY a 2 bbl or 4 bbl engine.
Look on the machined pad on the block just below #1 spark plug for some numbers stamped onto it. That will determine the year at least.
