I apologize if this issue has been covered repeatedly already. Anyway, I'm talking to a guy who is parting out a 96 Explorer 5.0 engine and am probably going to buy the heads off him (these have the emssions). I am now thinking about buying the upper and lower intake also. I saw a discussion about the tubular GT40 intake not having the MAF and would need a conversion if upgrading the cam (which I am doing). Will I run into a MAF issue with the non-tubular intake taken off a 96 explorer? And if I do, exactly what issues am I facing and is it correctable without an insane amount of work?
GT40 Explorer Intake MAF issues?

it wont have a MAF cause the MAF isnt on the intake, its further upstream just behind the airbox. if you mean egr, the 96 might or might not have it(well, it'll have a valve, but it may be externally plumbed instead), no huge deal if it does or not. it also probably wont have a tapped hole for the ACT sensor in the #5 runner, but it would just need to be drilled and tapped easily.
if your car is an 86-88, then you may want an maf conversion, a search here will show you what you need and how to do it.

Again, MaF is not part of the intake. If you swap an explorer intake on, you wouldn't touch your maf.
You mean the EGR. Is it necessary? Well you will lose a little fuel economy, but it can be removed. Try and get an explorer intake with egr to make things easy. Intakes are cheap and plentiful. Going rate is $75-100
1996 should have the egr port anyway.
