Has what? If that's a 2bbl that's a good deal. Spendy for a 4bbl. With the install kit everything swaps on, no need to change the fuel rail crossover either.

Yes it worked out just fine, high quality parts, everything fit as it should NO modding anything to fit any were, fuel rail mounting spots are the same as factory, installed tb height is the same as the kegger, it also re-locates the air temp sensor to under the tb, all the factory vac lines fit without having to mod them. It was almost to easy of a swap. Would I do it again you bet, Do I recommend it yes, have I tried it on a stock motor no.

Bonus to either intake are, much easier to change cap/rotor/wires anything on the back of the motor. I never have a hard time with the cooling system no gurgles, no having to burp the system after draining the rad.

That seems a lot easier than the hughes...... A hundred and some change cheaper is just an added bonus. I would really like to see some dyno charts comparing stock vs. M1 on fairly stock motor.... (and something that doesn't start the graphs at 2500 RPM...... fairly useless in this case.)

The problem is everyone dynos autos and it's hard to get them to hold a gear without kicking down at low RPMs. I still say with the Mopar PCM and 1.7s it more than made up for my low end torque loss. I've driven my friends 98 with a stock 5.2 and 5 speed and mine definitely has more low end torque.

I went out and took these to help with what an M1 looks like on the motor.

No A/C on your truck? I see the idler pulley where the compressor should be.

Yeah, that looks nice. And being able to actually SEE the distributor would be an added treat. Gonna have to start looking harder into this.......

Thanks Guys.

Could not survive here without AC, but I guess it isn't a necessity for survival in Canada!

Clean engine also! Looks good.

Believe me on a +36C/98.6F day in a black truck it gets hot. The truck has A/C but just not running the a/c comp. Thanks for the complement on the clean motor, but it needs a good washing after last weeks head work.
