Frustrating I feel for ya! I would even consider looking for a low $ stock TBI 350 to swap in while you rebuild the one in the truck.

Did you put a set of 350 injectors and a 350 chip in the ECM?

Ah, so about that.... now I'm second guessing myself about the injectors. 99% sure they are from a 350. I know for SURE they came from a V8. I always assume that the V8's are a 350 and not a 305.
Hello DeCaff,
Now that you have an engine with a good ring seal, more than enough compression in
all 8 cylinders to support smooth operation, and the valves are adjusted evenly, with
the correct preload, we have a solid base to build upon.
And we'll push this over the finish line step by boring step.
For example, the rest of the fuel system is back to new condition. However, you
are only 99% sure that you have the correct injectors. In order to move the
injectors up to 100% sure you have the correct ones, here's a list of TBI injector
part numbers, arranged from lowest to highest flow:
You must be registered for see images attach
If after comparing the numbers on your injectors to this list, if you find that you
have the 5.0 jobs, then you will need to get the 5.7 units. Of course, if you already
have the correct 5.7 injectors, then we'll move them into the 'verified good' column
and continue down the list of items needed to make this a successful 4.3 > 5.7 engine swap.
No magic, just gotta run down a lot of details.

That list is way wrong.Hello DeCaff,

on the top where the connector plugs inAlright, thanks for that. Any ideas where the part numbers are located on the injectors? Hey, I noticed that there's a color missing from the 5.7l row.
