I see some on ebay but the 60s look different for some reason. Do i need a fuel rail spacer or something? I want to say the radix came with 31s but im not sure.

42-44 are the biggest drop in injector with no splicing or shimming. 60's require both. Hopefully mine will be here soon!!

Might consider the Ford 42# injectors. Green tops. They flow 48#'s at our fuel pressure. With my 42# radix injectors and below mods I was seeing 90% duty cycle to of rpm range, 6200 rpm. The Ford units might be just enough. I have a set just not gotten them in yet. They require new pigtails and shimming. Anything above the 42's you have now will require mods best I know.

Reuse your valve cover gaskets.

Think you are okay fuel pump wise.

I know they will just be careful taking them off. They are rubber with a metal support they are fine. Even the ones that came off my old high mileage 5.3 were still in good shape.

Just throw some meth at it and back off the fuel tables at higher RPM, then you won't have to worry about it
