Fuel Injector Help Please

some of you may have been following my woes on another thread and realize i am replacing a 4.6l W 2003 with salvage 2006 4.6l W....i am replacing the intake to use mine as a suggestion here. Can i use the rail and injectors from the 06 instead the 03's? If i do can i still use my COP's? any help is greatly appreciated. Darrell

is the '06 a return or a returnless fuel system????


I don't see why you can't just use your old fuel rails and the new harness

I didn't think it could be done that easy. Regardless, it's got to be a PITA with the different computers and Drive by wire system. I haven't heard of anyone doing this, hope it works out. Curious to see if it does.

look where the fuel lines comes in, on your truck should have a large line coming in and a small line going back to the tank

hopefully you will run your trucks factory fuel rails and intake manifold to make your swap easier,

It got quiet lol. Yea, he would have to use EVERYTHING from the injectors up off the old engine.

Hey Jer , is it just me or is this site hanging a little?
