I was on the Fatman Fabrications site looking at their setup for 54-56 Ford front ends. Looks like they have a decent rack and pinion setup for the mid-fifties cars. The site said that the rack and pinion kits have been tested with small block Ford motors, but not with the Y block. Has anyone out there used their kit for the Y block powered 54-56 passenger cars, and what do you think? Dan

check the tech articles section, there's a review and pic's. I built my own for my 55'bird, and really like it.

I’ve got the Fatman front clip on a ’56 Frame that’s just about ready to put back under my ’55 Club Sedan. Although I’m putting a 4.6 DOHC on this one, the clip itself is stout enough for a 430 Lincoln if I wanted to go that way but would require some stiffer coil springs. Here’s a couple of pics.
