A Friend of mine has a buick regal with an eaton M90 supercharger on it and he is parting out the car i was wondering if anyone has ever used one of these on a fox body before?

Probably a dumb question, but how come nobody makes a lower intake to mate up with m90? They can be had for so cheap I would think that it would be a popular mod if it was possible.
Because throughout the years, Ford used 3 different Generations of the M90 on their Thunderbirds and XR7's. Each had different shaped inlets, with different mounting points, which would require the need to fab up 3 different style inlets for the kits. Probably not all that cost efficient for mass production.
You're forgetting that the inlets are different between the different generation M90s. The earlier 1st and 2nd Gen units use oval port inlets, where the 3rd Gen units use square port inlets. When I was reffering to their "mounting points" it wasn't with regards to the mounting points of the blower itself, but with regards to where the holes were drilled for the inlet port. Not a big deal, as long as you're willing to fab up your own intake elbow to match the inlet port of the specific Generation blower.There were three different generations but the housing and mounting does not change. I have a third gen with coated rotors and also a 1st gen with bare aluminum rotors. In 1989, 1990 the rotors were bare aluminum. In 1992 thru 1993 the rotors were gray epoxy coated. There were small changes between the generations and all fit universally. So if you get one from a T-bird then it will work. Just don't get one from a GM vehicle because of its akward size housing which makes it difficult to mount.
