Using Truck injectors on LS1 Intake/Fuel Rail

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fs...s/model/camaro

Found these, was wondering if anyone could verify that these in fact would work to use the shorter truck fuel injectors on the stock LS1 Intake and Fuel Rail?

It seems more and more common that people are turning to truck motors in their swaps instead of paying the hefty cost of LS1/2/6/etc. This could potentially save $100+ on injectors and $xx on injector connectors.

Thanks!

Re: Using Truck injectors on LS1 Intake/Fuel Rail

Truck injectors are the smallest of all LSx injectors. Put a cam in and they're maxed out

With used LS1 injectors commonly at $50 or less being more injector than most people ever use, why try to save the inferior parts? If you're that cheap, reuse the TPI injectors. Same height as the LS1's and same flow as the truck parts minus the unique connector

Re: Using Truck injectors on LS1 Intake/Fuel Rail

I don't plan on putting a cam in this engine. I am just trying to get the vehicle rolling under its own power. It doesn't have to be fast. It's a budget build, I'm trying to see how cheap I can do it. So it boils down to are these the spacers I have heard mentioned off and on that will allow a truck style injector to work in the taller car style injector space?

Thank you for your assistance,
Croozer
