If you are not planning on going FI you could easily go with a 26lb injecotr but I would just get the Ford Green Tops 42's and call it a day !
these are high impedence injectors so they should be plug and play
...with a tune of course

they will work but I would stick with the Ford 42's. These have been around for years and are very tunable ! Cheap as well !

The LT1 fuel system runs at 3 bar and assuming your still running the same fuel pressure, you will need approximately 40 lb/hr @ 3 bar injectors to stay at or below the 80% duty cycle best practice.
You can get Bosch Design III's for less than you can get the older Bosch Design I's (Ford Green Top 42's). The Design III's are a much better injector that has a more efficient coil and 10x better atomization characteristics than the Design I's.
I would recommend these in 42 lb/hr @ 3 bar.
Here's the calculation:

The Delphi Flowmatched 42# will be perfect for your application. We have them for $340. This seems to be a good size for LT1's because they work perfectly for you app at 3bar and you can bump your pressure up to 4bar if you need to for future upgrades.
