Looks like they will work. The cold air kit is probably a pretty cheap version of brand name ones but it is cheap.

Does the MAF require any mods to the computer or anything , or can i simply swap them?

While I am not a forum moderator and don't pretend to be, you don't need to post so much about the same topic in order to get a response.....

Anyway.

I have no idea how the cheap Cold Air Intake kit will work for you, alot of those Chinese made Ebay specials are hit and miss as far as fit, so buyer beware.

As far as the Cobra MAF sensor, are you sure you really want to go that route?

The auction claims it's for 19lb/hr injectors, but a stock 1993 Cobra came with 24lb/hr injectors. Also, there is not really any substantial power gain to be had from running a Cobra MAF sensor on an otherwise mostly stock H.O. 5.0L, because the Cobra's 70mm MAF sample tube and connecting bridge is right smack dab in the primary tract of the MAF. Because of this, the volume of air that cam gp through the Cobra MAF sensor is only marginally better than the stock 55mm MAF sensor.

Using a 1993 Cobra MAF sensor, on a standard 5.0L H.O. with 19lb/hr injectors would result in the motor running slightly lean under most conditions, and that's assuming your even using the 1993 Cobra computer with the MAF.

What are your goals for your motor? Have you thought this through? Or, are these ebay auctions more of an impulse buy for you?

im sorry about posting so much , my computer poster the same thing 3 times , as far as the cobra computer goes do i need that in order to swap the cobra MAF? The engine im putting these parts on has 130k on it , so im basically just putting the cheapest parts i can to squeeze some power out of it untill i need to rebuild , unfortunatly i dont have nearly enough money to rebuild yet so i have to deal with what i have , the engine isnt that bad besides the high mileage , no smoking , leaking , or oil consumption.

You won't see hardly if any power gain on a nearly stock 5.0L by using a 70mm MAF sensor (the Cobra MAF sensor) that won't flow hardly any more air than your stock 55mm.

You would gain more power from your stock motor by removing the air intake silencer and advancing the timing a few degrees than you will from the Ebay cold air intake and Cobra MAF combined.

...And, those two things would be free.

I agree,bump your timing up to about 14 degrees, that would be better than buying that cheap CAI on ebay
