Welcome, Dan. Boosting the performance of a C code 289 is going to be a fun project with loads of possibilities. The 289 is a great small block that can be built up to produce well over 300 hp and still be a good on the street with reliability.

Comp cams sells a hydraulic lifter cam that is a very similar profile to the original K code cam. Of course, remember to make sure you buy the whole "kit" as replacing just a cam can cause problems. You may need to change out valve springs, install screw in rocker studs and other valve-train related items. Also, proper break-in is extremely critical.

Best thing to do is read, read, read and soak up as much information as you can.

Welcome to the group, hope you get that C code the way you want it and maybe you will find your K code oneday.
