The cam specs, lift and CR are kinda borderline for a street 347. What is your definition for Street use?

Unless they have been changed, there is no way the springs that come stock on the Edelbrock heads will work with a solid roller. The fact that it is a solid roller should tell you to keep the idle time to a bare minium (hard to do on the street, those pesky stop lights etc.) or risk roller lifter bearing failure after as little as a few hundred miles. This often translates into a complete rebuild. I would change the cam to something more streetable if thats where it will be driven often.
