Front end poll! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ok folks, I've been off the project for quite a few months now. If the company comes through with the bonus that's being projected for Febuary, there should be a little left over after the "honey do's". I'm back to the big debate of whether to drop in a costly IFS (which is really sweet) or getting a front clip out of a yard and having it blasted. I wouldn't be against dropping the front slightly but, it's not a huge selling point. I do want to get larger disk brakes on the front no matter what. The weight plus the hp that I want to put in is going to required some healthy stopping power.
BTW, I plan on making the panel a street machine. Occasional trips down the road but, mainly a play toy for the weekends. Starting out with about 350 hp and would like to end up with quite a bit more.....
Thoughts?
