I was getting ready to ask a similar question of if i need to change out from my 42# Marine Injectors to something bigger... I figure i probably need the 50#er's at the very least, oh well one more thing to add to the list of parts needed for the 404...

I believe that the plug-ins are different, need to use adapters or splice-in pigtails.
May even have to use stand-offs on fuel rails as well if they're taller

I actually was referring the question to GMracer. I can see what you have in your sig, but he doesn't list anything.

An injector connector with the two wires would be a pigtail. You'll have to get the car type - look like these:

Here is the link:
Summit
The larger injectors are 5/8" longer and you will need the same length spacers to raise up your rails, along with adding the same length to the bolts that strap the fuel rails down. You can get 1/4" galvanized pipe from Home Depot and cut to length for spacers.
