Question Injector swap question?

I pulled the injectors from my 96 stroker, and I now have a 97. When i pulled them, the motor was on a trailor so it was easy.. How hard is it gonna be with that limited amount of space under the hood to get in there and pry alittle on the injectors of my 97? (I had the injectors out of the 96 re-oringed, and rebuilt and now gonna put them in my 97)

Gonna be the exact same process... Only thing you will need to do is remove the vacuum box on the passenger side on the firewall right above the back of the valve cover... That will be in the way for that back injector... Other than that, same process...

remove vc's
pull injectors
install injectors
bump starter with glow plugs out to remove fluid from cylinders
install gp's
hook up everything
install vc's
start crankin til she comes back to life...

Thank you sir! The reason I'm swaping is cause of the studder she has at around 2500-3000 rpms.. Other than that and alittle oil use, she runs like hell

Number 8 is the only hard one.

Gotta pull the vacuum box off the wall first.

Do that before pulling the VC also, it makes it easier.

Maybe..........but if it's a 4x4 F250 it could be the bushings at the center pivot or even the spring shackle bushings.
