maf This is my adaptor and ls3 maf. The adaptor is designed to be welded into a four inch tube. Both have gm part numbers if you are interested and special tuning is needed to run them. Since I am getting a chassis tune, this is included. I am waiting until the car is reasembled before I put together the fresh air intake. For now, I removed the maf tube from the van which is only about 70mm and installed it straight onto my throttle body. You can see it in the video.

I agree with lizeec on the brass removal. Get a set of easy outs or a square file and ease it back out. You can buy the fitting from Nooks and Tranny off of Ebay or go directly to Autometer and get one.
I do have a question for you on the mass air. Did you buy an adapter to mount it? I looked at mine today and the rubber mount attached the MAF is on the wrong side for air flow. I was going to just stick it on to test fire the engine but will end up buying the proper piping and finish the air intake prior to running it.

The Maf tube that I removed from the van has an airfoil shape device running through it. The back of the airfoil is open. I mounted it with the open end at the back and happen to have a rubber coupling on that end that fits my throttle body. I made the assumption that this is correct but I might be wrong.

I just noticed something..... You engine is a LY6, but you are running a cable drive TB? What computer are you running? Did you swap out the reluctor or is it still a 58X reluctor?

There is an air flow direction arrow on the MAF. I was just wondering if that had something to do with your engine not staying running the other day or if it would really matter either way.

The open side goes towards the air filter....http://www.powrmax.com/PowrMAF%20Installation.html

So it should look like this from the front on the air filter side? Everything about it looks wrong from the airfoil being backwards to the screen being on the back side to those probes, but what do I know. This is just to get it running.

If yours is like mine then the open side goes towards the intake and the screen will be visible from the outside facing away from the engine. Look on the outer perimeter and there should be some script that says "FLOW" with an arrow pointing the direction of air flow.

I decided to run my existing radiator. It is getting cleaned and the truck aluminum driveshaft is being shortened. I hope I measured right. The rad is widened, so I can run dual fans, which I already have wiring for with the painless harness. Finished the power steering lines and used a remote resevoir since I needed a type 2 style pump with the quik bracket. SInce that was done, I was able to reinstall the front clip. I did some stripping and painted it with POR15. It's a little glossy for my taste, but it should last a long time.
Dakota sent me a replacement adaptor free and fast. They are great to deal with. My computer should have been back by now, but was shipped ups.

The shifter is in and hitting all the gears, I think. Transmission filter changed. Temp sender fixed.
I'm thinking this is going to be the home for the modules and fuse box. I'm thinking about getting rubber mounts from grainger and mounting on the front of the inner fenders. I was going to go inside, but there just isn't much room, and I haven't installed a/c yet. I moved the battery to the trunk to free up room for a cold are intake on the other side. Interesting to read the arguments about moving the battery. My opinion is a little extra maintenance and making sure there is no acid damage is worth the probable performance gain.
