[Dan in Pasadena]

I bought a used-never-installed Fatman Fabrications MII kit from someone who bought an aborted project '59 he intended to put a very high HP engine in. At least that was his stated reason for selling it.

I fully intended to install it in my '55.2 but when I ended up taking my truck into have someone else do the mechanical work due to a family situation, his exact question was, "Are you married to the Fatman kit?" I said, "Well I already own it." He said he does IFS in these trucks and other cars all the time and suggested I consider using C4 IFS. Said he's never had anyone complain with one of those but several have ended up not being happy with their MII IFS.

Since I had decided to install an LQ4/4l85e in my truck rather than rebuild the tired out 283 I felt a little more robust IFS system would be a better idea. Others will say they've never had an issue with their MII system and I'm sure that's true. YMMV
