Smile Which cam in a 289.

I'm about to build a 289 for my mono. I want to go close to what they used in the 60's. I do not aim for a 289 hi po engine. I have one C5 and one C6 standard engines. The 1965 engine will be bore to 0.20 and I have the Webers. I plan to use 351 N heads (advice from others) .
What cam spec was there on the original 289 engines?.
And what piston, rods is recomended to use?. Mahle?
As many can observe , I'm doing this for the first time and hope for some advise to continue in a good direction. Many of You have done or study this before, so I hope not to go all the way to find out everything from zero, and without experience it have a high price .
