Post Mass air conversion

I have been looking fo a mass air conversion kit for my truck. But my truck has an e40d auto trans and nobody makes a mass air conversion kit for it. Do any of you know who does? Can I make my own? If i can what parts do I need? Your input would help me out. Thanks

Check out http://www.pro-flow.com/
It's kinda steep in price........but it's the only complete kit i know of.
I also had an E4OD trans and i was looking into converting over to mass air.........but i just swaped out the E4OD for a custom built C-6.
The conversion kit is about 1/2 price now.......got me?
Hope this helps.

Are you really sure you want to convert? it is pretty costly for those kits. you can rip parts of a 90-93 mustang. there are guys here and at 50tech who swear it is not necessary to convert. speed density has its advantages. i am still debating the better way to go. the more reading i do the more i think it might not be worth it/necessary. if you choose your cam very carefully, get a chip burnt, an adjustable fuel pressure regulator and a good tuner - you can build-up a pretty nice motor. see if you can get LIGHNTING2FAST's attention - he has a hypo set-up on SD. i am not saying converting is a bad idea, just that you shouldn't rush into it. do lots of homework and decide what you really want out of your truck.
my 2 cents.
Rusty.
oh and i am sure someone makes a kit for you. for vacuum controlled trannies (like my c-6) you want parts off a mustang with a manual tranny (no electric controls). for an computer controlled tranny you want parts off a auto mustang.

Mass air conversion

Backyard MAF conversion is doable. I'm in the process of doing it myself at the moment. It requires some soldering of the wiring harness, the A9P computer from the 89-93 Mustang (for the auto trans), a mass air meter and whatever you need to hook up the auto trans (I have a manual).
Have a look at my custom intake/MAF conversion page to get an idea what is involved:

There's a lot more on this page than just MAF conversion, but if you want to do it yourself, you'll know what is relevant for you.

Ok so there is no mass air conversion for my truck. If I have to change trannys I would put in a 5 speed. I guess that is what I'll do.
Could I put a mustang engine in my truck than? I want my truck to kick the crap out of my step dad's 67 chevy truck. I want mass air because I know I can modify it up myself.

mass air is not a must have. you can do exactly what rusty said and get a chip made to support your mods. youll end up needing one anyway with the mass air setup. trust me is a grand you dont need to spend. im not using it and im making over 400 rwhp. see sig.

I have run into the same problem with my 93 broco 5.0/e40d. The cheapest kit because of the transmission is $1300. I have already rebuilt engine and installed in truck with mustang GT cam and ported and polished E7 heads. Where can I get a chip "burned" to take advantage of these performance upgrades?
Thank-you for any assistance Dave

let me first say i am no expert. i have been doing a lot of reading on this subject that is all. the key to staying with speed density and engine mods is the camshaft. what are the specs for your mustang gt cam? there are a few places that burn chips like i think ken on this site can fix you up. if your cam has a lower Lobe Seperation Angle than 114 it can be tough to get it running right with a speed density system - even with a chip. that's what i read anyway.
hope that helps some.
Rusty.

motorhaven.com they should be able to help you with the chip. call them. and rusty is correct. cams with lobe centers lower than 114* tend to have less idle vacuum and hence fool the speed density into thinking the engine is under load. basically it just confuses the s/d eec. you end up running rich and loping at idle. but a good chip guy can get that combo to run like a champ.

thanks for the response lightning. I contacted teamJDM they said they could do it if the truck was in new jersey. that is a little to far to go. does anyone know where I could get custom chip burned in the southeast (atlanta Ga) I would travel 250 miles charlotte, nashville, birmingham ect.
thank-you dave
