So your saying that you have a '96 F-150 with a 4.9L in it correct?
If that's the case then you won't gain anything by putting a '96 F-150 5.0L intake tube on it. They have the same T-body....only it's turned 90* on the 4.9L. The MAF is the same. The only difference is the shape of the tubes going from MAF to T-body and the PCV pipe.
Correct me if I've missunderstood your post.

correct i have a 96 4.9 obdII mass air flow. the throttle bodies on it rite now are 2, 45mm bodies and i have a 302 throttle body that has 2, 55mm bodies. im wondering if this swap is going to kill my gas mileage or make the truck run funny cause it will be pulling alot more air.
