your tb will go on to the 2bbl m1 if you have a/c you will need to fab a mount for it from what I have read.

Happy BDay!

Expect to pay about 500-525 with the install kit (spacers/bolts for fuel rails/accessorys)and gaskets unless you buy used.

M1/2BBL needed no modifications when Iadded the 52mmfastman.53mm may need to be opened slightly. When I moved up to the 55mm Hughes billet tb I had to open up the M1 a fiar bit and match the gasket to the larger tb bores. 55mm biggest you can run on a 2BBL.
If your building a monster motor go the 4BBL, if its mild to average build go with the M1/2BBL
If you buy a carb version M1 you will have no injector bosses so will have to run a carb and replumb the fuel system which is not advisable. Better tune/power with fi.

If you buy the kit, the only fabbing of any kind you have to do is to extend the iat sensor wiring about 6" with the butt splices and wire provided.

I just looked in the mp catalog they make a 2bbl intake that works with a/c it fits both 5.2 and 5.9 it is a direct replacement for the stock setup and all of the stuff will transfer from the stock setup to the m-1. I did read some where you may need to extend some wires for the sensor on the back of the tb
