Post Which cams would resemble stock as close as possible

Hi I started my block build and have

Wiseco 1400 HD series with a bore of 85.5
Manley h beam rods 5.905" in length.
clevite bearings.

but in my situation i cant get a hold of stock cams ..
i currently have stock valve train but was wondering what after market cams can i get that will resemble the stock cams. I'm not looking to make crazy power right now i just need to finish my rebuild.

I've had the car for about 4-5 months and drove it twice before it blew a piston

I bought the evo from timelessmotorsports and the guy is just a straight up douchebag and took out the thermostat when i had gone to pick up the car from nj to ct. but hey heres my excuse for a build !

Any help for cam choice will be appreciated ! any one that has anything negative to say just keep scrolling.

HKS 272s have stock characteristics for spool and better midrange/top end.
You don't need to upgrade valve train for them either.

I had S1 cams and liked them. They sacrifice some on top end vs bigger cams but are perfectly safe with stock springs and have good low end and mid range.

You might as well just get the cams you want now instead of getting cams just to hold you over. Valve springs and retainers aren't that expensive and since you're already gonna have everything apart to put new cams in you mights as well just do all of it.

This. Or Tomei 260's. Both are great, smaller sized cams that lose nothing down low, all gains, but safe for stock valvetrain.

It's probably pretty easy to find HKS 272's are GSC S1's. Tomei's? Not so much lol

since you are doing the block anyway, why not drop cams/springs for power? kelford 272's or s2's. if not then i would go with s1's.
