It's kinda pick one or the other most of the time.
Do you just want lope or do it want it to perform great with the stock torque converter and have less lope. Though with an aftermarket exhaust the "lope" will be more pronounced because the lack of things muffling the sound like cats/resonator/factory muffler.
Look at texas speed and brian tooley racing for cams. You will have to stay relatively small with a stock stall torque converter. Something around the 212/218 range or similar is always a good size camshaft. Then tuning is the key to making it run good.

I highly recommend the cam motion drop in cams. Stay low lift if you want to keep it cheap and use stock springs. You need to have it tuned regardless of which can you install and the “lope” can be tuned in if you really want it. Any cam that is going to work well with a stock converter isn’t going to naturally lope.

I know trickflow makes a 216/220 .560/.560 114lsa camshaft. It would be great for a daily driver, plus it’s cheaper than most and you could use ls6 or Ls3 valve springs along with stock pushrods. With this cam you would only have around $300-$360 in a complete cam swap, that’s new Ls3/ls6 springs and all.
