Whats the cheapest aftermarket intake?
I was staring my truck (1997 350K wrecked and put back together multiple times WORK TRUCK) today with some starter fluid (the glow plugs don't work at all) and I caught the air filter on fire and it burnt up the stock plastic intake. What's the cheapest option I have, short of running around with no air cleaner?
Thanks

This is an entirely fair point. I drive the truck a couple times a month and I live in the south so 10 months out of the year I get by without glowplugs. Then the 2 months it's cold I squirt ether 4 times to get me through the season and then forget about it for 10 months.
I actually have a set of Motorcraft GPs I bought about 10 years ago with the intention of changing them but the thought of finding a swollen plug keeps me going back to the can. I know it's not right but it's easy

The 6637 is the cheapest and easiest path for the air filter. If you can see the turbo blades you will probably need an elbow as well.
