The problem you'd run into is that most GM maf's are molded as a one piece 
unit... Can't pull the electronics and sampling tube out to slide into 
another housing like the ford...

The other downside to increasing MAF diameter is the larger you go, the 
less sensitive it is to low flow rates and idle/low speed driveability can 
suffer.

I'm currently playing with a Ford EEC-V on my V8 5.0L explorer.
