5.0 Factory Air Box

PO of my car stuck a cone filter in the engine bay, so looking to fix that issue. I need the air box and lid, clips, and rubber mounting bolt thingies. I have converted to MAF, so I'm not sure if I can make the factory intake tube work.
Thanks,
Chris

I have the tubes and box for MAF. I think I also have the rubber mounting bolt thingys as well.. I think it has the clamps as well. Send me $50 and I'll send you the setup. The box lid looks like it had a crack and was sealed up with some epoxy. No big deal. It's under the tube, and I didn't even notice it at first.

Ok, sounds good. Crack doesn't bother me as long as it is still structurally sound and can't pull non-filtered air. Could you verify that it has the clamps and mount bolts though?
Also, my MAF is a 70mm out of a 4.6l crown vic, not sure if that will work with the tubes. It should give me a good starting point though.
Thanks,
Chris

It should work fine. Mine is a stock piece that is using an aftermarket MAF. It appears to all be there.
