Consider another option - use the 327/350 cam.  It would help reduce the dynamic compression and it still will idle like an original engine.  This cam will like the higher compression without pinging.  I run one in my 350 Corvette and it is VERY easy to live with pump gas and 10.4/1 compression.  I have very thin steel shim head gaskets and factory forged flat tops with 64CC iron heads. No issues at all.  Just a closed hood cruiser.

The L79 is a great cam, had one in the L30 in my 68 for a long time. It was exactly as you say, easy to live with but its a tame cam when stuck in a 350. In the 327 you know that its not the factory 275hp cam, it has a little more aggressive lope to it. For clarification as well my 327 is a std bore with the original pistons still in it. Here is a clip of what my stock L30 sounded like with a 350hp cam stuck in it. Now it has a comp 30/30H in it.
