Go ahead and smack me now cause I'm sure I'll have a few more questions. Is the MAF the same size on a 5.0? How difficult would it be to make a 5.0 CAI work

Are you asking is a 5.0L MAF the same size as a 2.3L MAF? The 5.0L MAF and TB are 3" OD and the 2.3L MAF and TB is 2.5" OD ( I believe if want I can check both). There maybe a way to use the CAI off a 5.0L using like some 3"-2.5" reducers plus a adaptor plate for the 2.3L 's MAF to bolt to ( or make one). the trick I think would be if your car has the ACT sensor and if you needed to drill a hole in the metal CAI for it.

Here is a link that helped me a lot on making my CAI : http://jman.stangnet.com/coldair.htm

I hope that helps some.

Ps asking question is what this forum is about.

I have my own variation taken from jman's CAI but was just wondering what other options I have available.
