Question engine rebuild question

so i have a 93 f150 4x4 with a 5.0L. i have already got my block ready to build its bored .30 over. my plan is to build as cheap as possible. i am going to get my roads and crank checked found a set of pistons for about $120 and rings for about $60, using stock heads stock intakes. my question is what kind of cam can i run on a stock auto trans and torque converter and get a choppy idle? my gears are 3.73 i believe. thank you

In my opinion its kind of pointless to do anything with a cam in a truck motor.. but I have heard an R.V cam will give more a torq feel..
