You said "just a cruiser", I'm with RRR on the cam is too much for what you want. With that cam, in order to get any enjoyment at all out of it, you will have to change out the gearing in the diff. at a minimum. I run the 268 and I had to go to 3.55's just to make it run better.
I did use it, with an intake, a 600 Summit street/strip carb and headers, and it runs real good for what it is. I never touched the bottom end, as I'm in the process of building a new engine, and knew I would be when I did this.
