I believe in 95. 96 definitely has it along with OBD II.

Mass Air When?

Not positive this is right, but here is some info:

1994: brought us a drivers side airbag, side door beams and CFC free A/C. Fake rivets disappear from the optional aluminum wheels. Center hub bezel on steel and aluminum wheels changed from red to black. Californai V8's went from Speed density to MAF.

1995: Ford reprogrammed the E4OD automatic trannsmission for smoother shifts. The 351 CID V-8 went to sequential MPI with mass air in california. Lower body side trim color for Eddie Bauer package is changed from the traditional tan to bronze.

1996: last year for the Bronco, debutted OBD-II electronics. Side mirrors with integral signal lights were offered for the first time. 302 CID and 351 CID HO MPI motors were still offered. The axles were still the 8.8 inch out back offered in 1983 and Dana 44 TTB front that started in 1980. All V8's got MAF as well.

4.9L was MAF in '96 also, but was discontinued for '97.

Yeah, but it's a pain. Probably easier to swap complete engines.

Why would you want to change over to mass air. Wouldn't it just cause more headache down the road???

Mass Air When?

Because my computer is speed density and if i were to put a 460 from 91 or later in it would be mass air. so i was wondering if its feasable to make it work together.

The only mass air 460's were California 96-97 models.

Actually converting to Mass air is rather easy. You simply call a junk yard for computer and mass air meter off of a 95 Bronco. You then run 4 wires to the computer and solder them into the computer. Did is on my Stang and my Bronco. Piece of cake.
