Im gonna be swappin motors soon (302 hci > 302 stock), and i wanted to know if i could swap over my 24lb injectors and aftermarket fuel rail (not sure of brand, but rails are red) to my stock 302? Or could i just swap my 24 lbers over to the stock engine with stock fuel rails? And should i change the injector seals while im doing so (if recommended). Thanks

It is not necessary and will create issue where there currently are none.

The 19s will support just about any N/A 302 combination you could come up with that include a hydraulic roller cam. Your fuel rails will support up to 500 crank horse power.

If you want to upgrade something, upgrade your fuel pump or the power supply going to your fuel pump.

It's never a bad idea to replace the pintle caps and seals on your old injectors. You should be able to find them in kit form.
