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!
