Re: installing fuel injectors.

I've swapped injectors back and forth many times on my LT1 and now it only takes me about 20 mins. Even the first time I did them it only took about an hour total time. The only thing sort of special you'll need is a fuel line disconnect tool.

Re: installing fuel injectors.

You can swap injectors without the disconnect tool even. Its simple just pull four bolts in fuel rails and the fuel rail lifts up, then just pop out injectors. You will need tune to get use of 42lber's.

Re: installing fuel injectors.

Blow off the intake manifold around the fuel injectors before you start so as not to drop any sand/dirt down into the intake. The injector wires are numbered so you shouldn't get things plugged in wrong. Also there a retaining clip that holds the injectors to the fuel rail. Slide the clip sideways to release the injector and note the position of the injector for installation of the new one. Put a light coat of oil on the new o-rings.
