4.9 maf conversion

So another thread sparked my interest and now I'm curious. Obviously I would need a maf and intake, and ecu. Those are easy enough to come by. What else would I need to make it happen, I'd love to get this going and maybe unlock my old xcal and mess with a few things and make my truck more fun.

The engine harness is different as well. If you could find a MAF 4.9 truck for the EEC, I would grab the harness as well and swap it over. I will check the local yards here as I have seen a few MAF 4.9 trucks in them lately.

I thought I might need the whole harness. Is it a complicated harness? I hated the ones on my 4.6s.

Didn't think to ask, but is there any benefit to this without any mods?

Jarryd, I saw a 4.9 with maf at a local pick and pull, if you want, I can head back over sometime next week and see if it's still available.

What do you think it would all cost? I want to doa few things later on but I don't know if it will all be worth while. I really want to squeeze more torque out of this thing.
