Speed Density to MAF Conversion

I'm currently researching, planning, and budgeting a speed density to mass airflow conversion for my 94 F150 5.8L with E40D. So far from what I have found is that a Mustang MAF ECC won't work with the E40D and my best bet would be swapping parts from a 95-96 truck with the same engine and tranny.

That or drop 1500 bucks on a conversion kit

Anyone have some advice, tips, or links that can help me on this conversion?
Any help would be great, thanks!

You have the right idea; find a donor truck with an E4OD and mass air and pull the harness, MAF, ECU and ductwork.

Luckily my K&N intake will save me from using the ductwork, do you know if the engine harness will be a direct plug in or will I have to cut and splice it in?

Retarded me I don't know if I can edit my post (lol) but I have found several possible donor vehicles in my local area. However, none of them are trucks with the 5.8L. One truck has the straight 6, another the 5.0L, and even a Thunderbird with 5.0L HO. The straight six is auto but the tranny was pulled out already. The Truck 5.0L was a E40D, and I'm not sure what the Thunderchicken had.

Anyone know if any of these vehicles could fit the bill?

A MAF 5.0 truck computer and harness for an E4OD will run a 5.8, it'll just need a trip around town to learn the motor's requirements every time the battery is disconnected.. which shouldn't be very often. Forget about a 6-cyl setup it can't run an 8-cyl, or the T-Bird, it didn't use the E4OD tranny and that's the 1 thing you absolutely got to have compatability with.

Cool thanks for the help. Hopefully I can start pulling the parts off before the weekend.
