Bottom line for my case was that I read way too many magazines with all the latest high end build ups and it actually set me back because I wanted to build what I had read. I should have stayed with my set goals, maintained a realistic budget, etc, and I would have saved money and enjoyed the car FAR earlier than before.

Excellent point! i am in the SAME boat and after owning the car for 10 years now I have been able to trully enjoy only 1 summer with it becasue I got duped too. My biggest problem was a rebuilt 383 that ran like crap...couldn't hold a tune...I didn't know why i followed the magazine build so closely

Turns out built 906's with kb162 pistons gives CR of 7.8:1! There were other issues too, but this was the main one. Another rebuild later after listening to folks on here and getting more involved in the build and the car runs like a champ now.
