Default injectors??? HELP

i am currently building a 342 stroker and i an not sure on 24lb or 30lb injectors. i have 24 on the manifold now but i think i may need 30lb.
BBK SSI-R intake
AFR 185cc Heads
342 stroker kit
BBK long tube headers
CSR electric water pump
MSD ignition
AOD tranny
3.73 93 cobra rear end
under drive pulleys
etc
etc
i know some of this is irrelevant with choosing injector size but oh well.
thanks for the help.

A 342 or a 347? I guess it doesn't really matter - I'd go with the 30 lb injectors but, if you haven't already put a 255 lph fuel pump in, I'd do that first.

I would get a 255lph fuel pump and get a good set of 42#r's. Im running 30#r's in my 306 setup.. Those AFR 185's need FUEL!! I would rather have a little to much than not enough. Get a good adjustable FPR and call it a day!!

You guys kill me, a 342 is the same as a 347 it just has a stock bore size 4.000 where the 347 has a 4.030" bore.

With this list of parts I would personly go with #36 injectors and a 255 pump.

I never claimed to be a professional by any means thats why i asked for clarification. Wise people look to learn 2 new things each day!!

You insinuated he was in error. That's cool though, you know what a 342 is now. I look to learn new crap too.
