kind of an odd question
well i seem to have a bad injector on my 97 v6 bird and have some stock injectors from a formula lying around...what i was wondering is if the stockers from the formy will fit the v6. both were obd 2 cars (96 formy to a 97 v6)...im not looking for a performance gain here...i just dont know if it will work...if anything as long as it fits and works it actually will be a performance gain at this point...the car is running like a complete turd

I doubt it,
napa lists different (OEM) part numbers:
part number DEM FJ10033 for the 3.8 , and part number DEM
FJ10019 for the 5.7 (was actually the same for 1996 and 1997 on the 5.7)
guess the question is how much difference? I’d call up a local parts house and see what they list for aftermarket replacements, never know the aftermarkets might match up and if that is so it'll probably work.
you did get a cylinder specific ses code on this right?

i was aware the oem's would be different. the stock on the v6 are like 17 or 19 #'s and the formy has 24 or 26's...more to the point...they seem to be the same visually and they both are at a 14.4 ohm impedance...with that in mind as long as they connect to the v6 harness wouldnt it be the same as changing a v8 from stock to a 32# injector?

You won't get a performance gain by swapping the injectors. Assuming the injectors are similar in terms of dimension and connectors, you would still need to have them tuned to your application to avoid running constantly rich.
