THe art morrison clip is more of a universal fit,where as the fatman is made for the buick. I would go with the fatman. The only sheet matal I had to modify was the inner fenders to clear the upper arms.The stock core support bolted up as did the bumper brackets.
Here is a list of things I changed or fabricated.
Steering column. I made the stock one work but it was not ideal,The column had detents for the gear selector. The 350 turbo I installed also had detents that did not match.The owner later installed a flaming river column with a 40 ford style wheel.
Motor mounts and trans crossmember. I installed a 455 with a 350 turbo,fatman included a universal motor mount kit. The mount kit was modified and I made the trans crossmember from scratch.
Rear suspension. I built a trailing arm or two link, the arms were 42" long I believe.The arms were mounted to brackets that bolted to the x part of the chassis.I used the factory springs and panhard bar. The rear was out of a 96 impala ss narrowed 3".
I hope this helps with your decision.
