Swap injectors?

[hardknocks]

LOVE the new forum set-up btw!

Well tomarrow im droping my engine into my truck . Before i knew i needed an engine i put all new injectors on my trucks engine . Do i bother swapping them on before i drop her in??

The old man says leave it alone , it runs good , leave it be . And it does pur like a kitten . I'd swap em anyway , but i dont feel like finding the kit with the new copper washers and return lines . And when putting them in last time i noticed you can crack the little plastic heads on the injectors for the fuel return line pretty easy , along with the o-rings being a pain....cut a few .

So i think im just gonna put new exhaust manifold studs on her and drop in . Save the injectors . The pump on the new motor has a rebuilt sticker on it but i have no clue when it was , and the engine has 130K on it....so for all i know it may have newer injectors also .

Any reason to change them out from some experienced members?

On a side note....has anyone realized that the actual fram width in about 2" larger on the 90' than the 88' ?

Im gonna have to do a bit of rigging to get the shifter and the tranny mounts on the tranny to work with the differance i think . I have the tranny temporarly up in there for now(wich is a bit longer than the c-6) .

As long as the return lines aren't leaking, leave it alone. If they are leaking, you have a choice. personally, if you have no problems with th einjectors in th ecurrent motor, pull the ones off the bad motor and put them aside, just be very careful of packing them away.
