So does a m1 do away with the whole thing? I heard its expensive though and I'm not looking to exactly break the bank. Am very interested in just doing away with the whole thing though.
Yes, the M1 gets rid of the Belly Pan.

Yeah, it'd also be fun to put gas in it.

Distributor cap and rotor is right behind the intake. Timing chain is on the front of the motor, behind the water pump (Another thing to replace while you are in there). The M1 is a complete new intake manifold. Do the Kegger Mod.
Sounds like you dont know much about engines. Go to autozone and buy a Haynes service manual for a 94-01 Dodge. Read and study it. You can learn a lot.

does m1 stand for something or is it a brand?

Only intake manifolds i can find (probly what m1 means) is on summitracing and there only at the most $300 and there edelbrock which sounds like a much better option then going ahead and spending $100 on a plenum gasket.

The M1 is made by Mopar. That Edelbrock from Summit will not work on your Fuel Injected motor. Now, Hughes Engines makes a custom-modified Edelbrock that will work with fuel injection.

The Hughes is expensive, you can find used M1s for around $400 all the time.

You can. I just said you can't use them with an aftermarket cam without the exact length push rods because they aren't adjustable.

If you keep the Kegger I would recommend doing the runner mod by cutting 2" off of the runners.
