Don't know what to do for injectors. I'm leaning towards mustang red tops, supposed to flow around 36 to 38 pounds with ls fuel pressure, anyone have a recommendation? Also anyone ever bought used injectors? Is it a safe buy from somewhere like ebay?

Spent the last couple hours working on this, not even close to done. Still 2 more compunds to apply. Not going to be perfect because I was way to lazy to sand before polishing

Too late now, but you could have went with 8.1L injectors.

I found that information about the 8.1 injectors about 30 minutes after my pig tails showed up while searching for injectors

Any opinions on the green bosch I posted earlier?

And the budget went out the window, wanted to keep the ac, half the fun of doing an ls swap is to show off the engine bay, stock brackets are ugly so i splurged in dirty dingo alternator, power steering ac compressor brackets

Ditching the old pancake r4 compressor for this new sanden 508 7 piston job, hopefully i can hang meat in the cab when its running





Adapter plate for sanden compressor to hook up to my old r4 lines because im way to lazy to hunt down a shop to make me new lines and this is probably cheaper anyways for 80 bucks
