87 928 injectors

Hi all, I am back.
It has been a busy 2 years. Rescued a 92 968 from the junk yard, met and married my wife, pulled the motor from the 928. Moved 3 times, then all came to a halt. New house built and I epoxied the garage floor and installed a 4 post lift.
Garage cabinets and counter top will be installed in 2 weeks.

The 928 engine is calling my name,
{queue in the music from Molly Hatchet}
I basically pulled the engine to stop me from driving it , as I knew the timing belt needed changing.
So, I am going to rebuild the power steering, replace motor mounts and oil pan gasket/studs. Along with an intake refresh and powder coat.
I will be repainting the engine bay also,

I have most of the parts, to include new cam gears. $$$$$
I will need a DME computer, and water pump too. Waiting on the DME because warranty starts from purchase date.



Here are my questions/
New or rebuilt water Pump?

New injectors or send mine out to WH?
or clean myself?
type of new ones? I keep hearing ford.
what LB rating do I need?
high impedance?

I am going to clean the ones from the 968 myself. this is a low cost rescue.
The 928 is getting the pampering.

I have to get the 968 started before I dive into the 928, then they swap places on the lift.

I hope to be driving by this time next year.

thnx

Me, if I had the engine out...especially a twenty-eight year old car...I'd surely do the head gaskets.

Excellent garage!

I'm having the same dilemma over injectors as you. Mine is an 84 and I already have them out, replacing the o-rings and fuel delivery hoses. And then...I see a conversion-adapter-nipple offered by 928RUS that allows you to use the newer style injector with four spray nozzles. Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Looking forward to following your progression in your project.

Brian.

Not much of a decision here, I don't believe. 4 nozzle injectors atomize the fuel better, your car runs cleaner/smoother/faster/better. I have 4 nozzle injectors in my 89 and the difference was noticed the first time I drove it. I can't wait to use the conversion for the Stepson.
