I think its a pretty interesting truck. As for the snorkel, I had a drier hoseair intake from the right front fog light to the air box on my 87 Mustang GT. It worked pretty well getting cold air to the box.

I have a friend who has a similar set up on his mustang, but his is much newer

That engines got to be pretty stressed in the mud video, especially if its all stock. Looks like it got really hot by the end of the first run.
