Hello ,

I have a 461 big block chevy , Steel crank , forged dome pistons.
Edlebrock aluminum heads 714 lift cam (Crane)1100 hardcore dominator.
high rise eddlebrock intake , 350 long tail tranny with all the work needed .
3800 stall 410 gears . In a 1975 chevy caprice convertible car aprox weight is 5500 lbs .

What I need to know is , can I cruise the car on the street once in a while ???

I am open to advise , I need someone that knows what they are talking about because I am a begginer .

Thank you for your time !!!

You need to know the compression of the engine and what octane gas it needs......but to answer you question...you can cruise anything on the street,just depends on what you want to put up with.
