'68 T upgrade to 2.0 or 2.2 S advice needed

I am planning a recondition of my 1968 911T (Euro) coupe and a full rebuild of the matching engine. The car has been garage stored 25 years. I will use a very experienced tech who has, however, limited experience with rebuilding 911 engines, so we will need some expert guidance. I have Wayne's latest "How to rebuild, etc" book for reference. The engine has a set of '67 911S heads, pistons & cylinders, with the original T cam and non counterbalanced crank. I'd like a fun road/DE car and don't intend to race.

I'm concerned an S cam will make the car too peaky for my intended use, but perhaps an E cam won't work well with the larger ports of the S heads. Custom grind needed?

I have a set of worn 2.2S pistons and cylinders and think I could have the cylinders reconditioned, the heads worked to match, a new set of pistons and again, the cam decision. Is this a good idea? Not sure this type cylinders are ok to bore.

Funds are limited so I'm not going for the ideal, just the best solution I can afford. Thanks for your help.
