I bought a GM 85mm MAF from a 01-06 Yukon. Part# 160794647076. Works great and was cheap. I bought the 5 WIRE MAF TO LS1 3 wire harness adapter
Item # 250960779906 and use my current IAT sensor plug. You can buy the casper's adapter if you want to remove your IAT sensor from your lid.

Variety of 85mm MAFs, used the stock TB bellow with
a bit of careful persuasion and running the Z06 MAF
tables from some 'vette year or other (more fueling-
accurate after the cam swap, while a truck table was
better pre-H/C/I). I have been using the descreened
truck MAF for many years now. That (descreening) is
your sole upside and a descreened 85mm vs a descreened
stocker, gains you minimal airflow / pressure drop at a
cost to maximum air mass range that can be tracked.
I did hog out one 85mm to match 75mm freq:freq but
by the time I got there, it had become pretty unstable
(had to remove all of the center divider).
