I don’t know, I used the 2.5 injectors. With such a small displacement increase the computer will just adjust the injector duty cycle to make it work.

Do you remember how much larger the intake cross over tubes are ?? Thanks Frank

Take a look at the photo below, you can see the rubber hose it’s stretched from the smaller diameter 2.7 to the larger 2.5 cross over. The ID of the 2.5 is the same size as the 2.7 OD

I’ll measure mine when I assemble them.

I was able to put in a few hours this weekend. Removed intake and fuel injectors. In the process of cleaning up the 2.5L harness. Removed exhaust had to drill out 5 of 6 bolts. Quite a PITA. Removed Auto trans (tip). Took 3 hours as nose of converter was stuck and I didn’t want to pry too hard and break anything. Now I am having trouble with the flex plate. Rusted on. As the name implies it wants to flex too much when trying to pop it off. Any tips or tricks to this?

Rookie mistake. I replied to myself. I’m going to buy some silicone reducers 3.75 to 3.5 and try them.

I mocked up the intake and the silicone boots fit perfectly. They were 3.75 to 3.5 reducers. They were 3” long so I had to trim 3/4” from each side to make them close to the original boot size. I’ll try to get pics up later.
