There is the link while researching I stumbled upon this but can't seem to find any information about this. Anyone have anymore information on this set up or know anyone who has used it.

I've seen one, its kind of a do-it-yourself intake. It isn't drilled or tapped for any blower yet, you have to do-it-yourself. You will have to fab any brackets,pulleys or idlers specific to the blower you will use also.

And it has the same potential mixture distribution problem as all the OEM Eatons adapted to non-original manifolds: the drive nose length determines the compressor discharge position.

I wish it were mounted at a 90 degree angle because it would give you more play for an adapter plate I have in mind to fix that problem. I mean hood clearance would already be questionable. I really like the eaton m90s as an option I think they would be a good fit.

As panic pointed out, a one size fits all type of manifold just isn't conducive to this application for the reasons he mentioned. Making a manifold specific for a given blower is the only way to eliminate the issues.
