The driver fits very similar to your passenger, I need to cut the collecter off and bend the tubes inwards.
Did your MAF come with your engine or where did you buy it? I need one

MAF came with the complete truck motor and wiring harness i got. I found that the truck oil pan was hanging lower then the crossmember by about 3 ", i didn't want to take a chance that it would hit something so i when with the camaro pan that is actually above the lowest part of the crossmember by about 1/2".
