I thought that's what the vacuum secondary was. It only runs on one carb unless the other is needed. Correct me if I'm wrong. Either way I'll probably just rebuilduse the Holley 600cfm carb and pick up an Edlebrock intake for $80-$100.

And I don't have to worry about finding 93 octane. It's everywhere on the east coast, at least where my car will be drove at least. I was considering a 10.5:1 compression. My plan was to get some pistons and heads and take them to a machine shop and let them deck it to where I want it.

As for pistons, the ones I was considering were a 1.605 compression distance flat top piston. I could get a set of Sealed Power's for $100. What compression range would I be looking at with these?

And I just want to say thanks for all the help guys.

And what are you comparing this junk to? There are numerous documented problems with Patriots, you get what you pay for period.

I have heard good and bad about Patriot, but they seem to be good for the most part in the modular community. I don't really plan on aftermarket heads for the moment though. I know where I can get some '69 351W heads for a good price, so I may get them and do a little port work.
