    Question about injectors...

    I've heard that there are cars that came factory equipped with 24 lb injectors that will run in our cars. I think I've heard that injectors from a Chevy LT1 would work. Any truth to this? Are there any other cars that came with 24 lb injectors that can be swapped into a stang? Derek
