i was digging for information regarding my 2.3 and was noticing in the tech library there was an article that showed how to build a k&n air filter adapter. the method shown was to use a toilet flange and cut it out, i have done in the past and still have on my new to me ranger an easier solution. at your local autozoo in the performance aisle down by the spectre performance universal conical air filters (the ones i use for 20 bux rather than 50 or so for a k&n and do just as well) there is an accessory known as the 3" intake duct mounting plate part number 8148. basically its a four bolt square adapter that bolts to ur firewall or whereever and u can put a 3 inch hose or air filter on it. u can take that adapter and place it on your maf and it will bolt up w/ two bolts diagonally, i siliconed mine to prevent air leaks, then mounted the air filter to it. 5 minute install and let ur silicone set a few minutes (if u choose to use silicone between the mounting surfaces, it is recommended as to not let dirt etc in your engine.) and u can mount a 3 inch conical filter directly to the end of your stock maf no cutting tools etc required.
