Welcome to FTE!
The best and cheapest route would be to get a donor vehicle, most likely a wrecked 96 F-series.

I'd look for a '95 instead. The '96's are EEC-V and are very different than the EEC-IV in the '92's. I don't know if you would find a MAF 351 in '95, but a MAF 302 computer would work just fine since the mass of the air is calculated, the fuel would still be calibrated correctly regardless of engine size. Just make sure it is a truck with an E4OD. This is probably the easiest way to get MAF on a truck with the E4OD.

I believe that FRPP offers conversion kits. I know that they do for Mustangs.

The main thing with FRPP kits is that they don't make one for an E4OD. With any other transmission, that's a very very good way to go.

there are a few compaines that make the kits they will be the best route to go. they will have everything needed and most important instructions. interactive systems makes them for the fseries if there still in busniess. the mass air meter you use must be calibrated for your current injector size. probally 19lb hr but check if you get a donor! its really simple all you need is the maf meter,ecm and make a few changes to the pin connector. oh and the 4 wire harnese for the meter. but you will need some instructions maybe you can find a set on ebay.

It's not quite that simple for a truck with E4OD. Well, if you buy a kit it is, but the kits for the E4OD are nearly 1000 bucks, and on top of that you have to buy a computer. You also have to run two computers, one to control the transmission and one to control the engine, which would be difficult without a kit and a new wiring harness. A donor truck would be by far the cheapest way for a MAF conversion. If it were a different transmission, then by all means, the kit would be the way to go.
