MAF question

[Brocster]

I have 2 different MAFs sitting in my garage off of F150s. One came from a late 80's/early 90's truck with a 5.0 and the other from a 97' with a 5.4. I have read about people swapping Mustang MAFs with the 4.0 guts. Would one of these work on my 1st Gen or are they just too damn big?

Unless you have some mods done to your truck, you won't gain anything and may actually make mileage worse. It shouldn't stop you from playing around and finding out for yourself. Just make sure you reset your computer by disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes or so.

I didn't expect a lot of difference with the BBK TB, but it made a noticeable difference to on my truck with bolt on stuff. Even more so then a modded stock TB. So playing around can be worth it and fun.

Well I plan on building an intake and didn't want to keep my puny stock one on there. Guess ill just try it out. Thanks! And how much does that BBK TB run? 66mm right?

Also, what are TM heads? I'm assuming they were on 95 and 98 models (respectively) and I have read a lot about people using them. Saw them on your sig and was wondering what the advantage is with these? And which ones are better? 95's or 98's?

Actually it should. Waste of time and money to find out something already known.

95-2000 Explorer XL 4.0 OHV. I did a couple of things to my intake that made a big, big difference.
1. Ground down the throttle body shaft on the butterfly. There is a thread on doing it.
2. I found that a MAF from a 95 Lincoln 5.0L was bigger and was a bolt on- no mods. The plus was that I could use my existing plugin to the MAF. I used the same Throttle body to MAF hose.
3. I converted to a square air filter box from a round one. I ground out another hole, added an intake horn from an Aerostar, then an aluminum flex hose that runs to near my exhaust manifold.
The result. distinctive sound. more power. better throttle response. Slightly better feul migeage. I live in a cold climate and the flex hose gets a bit of heat into the intake in the winter. Mileage very much improved in cold weather.
Cheap and effective plus I can accellerate about the same as a stock 5.0L Explorer.
