if its a 91 l98 is sd not maf run the numbers on the block and intake, but no an sd will not just plug into a maf setup. But you can pull the maf setup off the car and bolt it onto the 5.7 and put it back in.

If he has the computer and harness from the '91, he can plug those into his car with the '91 TPI set-up and go.
There might be a VATS issue, that would require investigation (such as, reading the VATS tech article).

Re: 5.0tpi to 5.7tpi
If they're both TPI why change the entire harness? Just use your 305's stuff(meaning harness and MAF) and buy a PROM out of a MAF 350. It sucks to buy something else but changing the entire harness from computer throughout the motor will suck more. You can probably sell the harness and Speed Density computer and recoup the cost.

Or sell the MAF stuff.
SD has more performance potential, albeit at the cost of requiring tuning.
