We just put one of the D&D ones in a car along with a flaming river manual rack, tubular A arms, coil over kit, Lakewood 90/10s, D&D camber caster plates, and bumpsteer kit.
It was a really simple bolt in, only thing is if your car has ever had a very hard front impact and been fixed back then it's possible that things won't line up. His had been so we ended up having to drill the K member somewhat, about 1/4 inch more, on a couple of the mounting holes to allow it to line up so we could get the bolts on it. Ultraflow said he had to use a plumb bob, on this one it was pretty much made for no adjustment, the holes were just big enough to get it in the car in the factory location.
They're very cool looking in the car. I couldn't really get any good pictures but here ya go:

There's a picture here's the link to the full sized picture.

You can see a couple of more pictures of this thing on the site if you go look in that images section.
We haven't set the motor down in the car yet but it doesn't like there are going to be any clearence problems at all and it's also possible to offset the motor to the back which we're considering trying.
He spent a wad of cash on those parts though for that front end. We bought our stuff from the D&D booth at an NMRA event and got it cheaper. The K alone I don't think is that high but I know he spent around $1500 by the time it was all said and done but he went all out on that front suspension setup.
Hey UltraFlow, have you set your engine back any with your kit? If so how much have you gone back with it and did it help out any?
