Mike is correct that the intake we need for our trucks is the MPI,
as opposed to the M1. MPI is Mopar Performance's name for it. I suspect
it stands for MultiPort (fuel) Injection. If you go to the parts counter
and ask for an M1 intake you'll get the carbed version. However, Alan is
also correct in saying that the MPI is an M1. Or, more accurately, *used*
to be an M1. To create an MPI, MP takes an M1, drills out the injector
bosses, and slaps a TB adaptor on the top.
