Yes, but there is NO advantage...actually you will lose power compared to stock L98 injectors. Your best bet now is to drop some money on a set of accel injectors now that the price has dropped.

I agree with irocz about dropping some money on new injectors....however, don't buy ACCEL! Buy SVO injectors....they're very good quality and you can get a set of 8 through Jegs for $209

The f150 injectors are 19#, so those would be ok on a 305.

The Accel and SVO injectors are both made by Bosch. I'll bet you there is no difference between them besides the color.

I just went to 30's after my 24 svo's and have noticed a faster bleed down. How long does it take for others pressure to bleed to 0? Mine is gone in about a min.

Everything I've heard about troubleshooting tells me that one min. is WAY too quick. You have a problem somewhere unless there is something about those particular injectors that I don't know. All that gas is going somewhere...if it's not back into the tank then it's killing your piston rings.

Could even be the in-tank pump letting the pressure bleed back off. I have had that problem before. Also, on the SVO injectors... don't forget to put on GM o-rings. The difference in size is very small. But, we have noticed in some cases... it did make a difference. The GM ones are bigger. Vaccum... who really needs it anyway.

87Z- There's definitely something wrong with your fuel system. I just tested the pressure on mine yesterday and left the gauge hooked up for about 10 minutes with the ignition off (after I had cycled it on) and there was less than 1psi of bleed off.
