Crosswind air gap clone and ram truck serpentine setup

75slant6 said

When the time comes for me to swap my 5.9 back to efi, I’ll swap the magnum front cover back on and leave the crosswind on there and see if I can’t get it worked out where a truck compressor can be used with the crosswind, before I switch back to the kegger. It’ll probably be a few months yet but I’ll see what I can come up with

Looking back on your findings, what was your ultimate outcome with the 91 style front drive system?
Cost just doesn’t seem that much especially if you are in my shoes and have to replace the factory truck compressor anyway.
Used x wind intake - $150
91 front drive @ U Pull - $50
Reman compressor - $160 (Rockauto)

I paid $345 ($299+shipping and a bad attitude on the phone) for a MP M1 intake from Indy Cylinder Head that was advertised at $199... so that set up is really tempting and probably the way I will go on the next ones.

Also, thanks so much for all of your research and pictures! Very well done!
