Will a 5.0L injector work ok in a 5.7L?

I am looking to replace my injectors for cheap if I can. At Autozone/O'rielly's/Napa they are all around $100 each. I found these for a 305:

Would they work on my 1987 5.7L R10 pickup? Seems like there might not be that much difference between the 5.0L and the 5.7L

Yeah. Not really an inexpensive way out, on this one. Autozone here I come.

There should be no reason to replace injectors unless they are broken. you will save money if you clean them instead.

I was kinda thinking about that, but I have ran all the top recommended chemicals through them. Maybe they could be taken out and cleaned somehow? Sounds like it would be difficult though, to not damage the injector when trying to clean it.

best way to do it is take the injectors out and send em in to be cleaned in a ultrasonic bath while they have a harness hooked to em to cycle em while they are in the solution.

Most of the shops that do that type of cleaning around here, wont save you any money. Just get new ones, I dont think you'll regret it later.

I have an awesome fuel injection cleaning system that actually works. It's a 3 part system. Step one cleans the injectors, step two cleans the intake and step three is a solution that goes in the tank. I did it on a Camaro the other day and the guy came back saying his car starts easier, runs better, has way more noticeable power than ever and gets better mileage. I use it quite frequently. Before I invested in it I was skeptical as I've never seen any products work very well in the past but after the last year or so I'm convinced it's not snake oil. I also use their trans and cooling system products/machines. Here's the link

yea BG is good stuff, but it really doesn't do the same amount of cleaning as taking em out and new ones are not a balanced set that you would get back from the cleaners.

So from the factory, GM made sure that each vehicle got a balanced set of injectors? Kinda makes you wonder about buying new ones, even like a kit that comes with the typical 8 injectors for a newer V8.
Hey vile, which products on that page are part of the system you are talking about? I mean, which ones did you use. You can't really click on them to see their prices.

GM balancing injectors? Yeah right.... You'd have to take it somewhere and have it done as if you wanted to do it yourself you'd have to buy the equipment which is $$$$

Don't know what all would be involved in balancing injectors. It seems to me that you would be just trying to get two of them with the exact same spray pattern and spray volume, when you got brand new ones. Which would be next to impossible. Or are yall saying that they take two different ones, (non balanced) and then do something to them that balances them?

They take 2 injectors and match them.
