In my opinion, you just downgraded. The CFM is 320 for the Buick air box. While the stock 300SD air box CFM is 450. Per Wix Filter's website.
MTU power had a reason to use it because of his space limitations.
The '85 California air box would of been better to use because the surface area is slightly bigger then the Federal's. The best box would be the from the w124 300Ds and the 300SDL or 350SD with a CFM of 575.
