Do you feel it's worth swapping the intake & pan just for the truck stuff? The oil pan on the trucks hangs below OE front x-members slightly (possibly depending on which mm swap kit used) so the shallower the pan the better.

The car style intakes aren't really giving up that much torque & look way cleaner vs the truck set-up (unless your plan is to use the 'plastic curtain' to hide everything).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
