Default Need 427 engine advice

OK, I've got the block (.060), steel crank, and rods. Pistons are next and I'm shopping and learning about Big Blocks (too cool!!!!).

I need advice on 427 engine combos for the street. I am particularly interested in piston/head/camshaft combos because I want to make sure my compression ratio and camshaft work well together. I'll be using aluminum heads, headers (etc etc the good stuff!). Car has 3.36 rear gears and a 4-speed. NOT a daily driver, so slightly more radical is OK!!! So, could you please share your combo with me?? Piston part numbers and head part numbers are of particular interest!!! THanks!

Thanks to bernie morris for the offer of pistons, but It looks like they will be too high of a compression ratio for my setup. (12.5 to 1!!!) Thanks Bernie!
