I have had no luck anywhere else so hopefully I can find it here
Were turbocharging a 2004 5.3 in a 2000 silverado...son bought 90#injectors but they are to long...we need shorter stubbier ones do to say...and the connectors are different...we can't return these as it's been a year...anyone send me in the right direction to figure out what size and type we need...the pic are the ones we have but are definitely wrong
Note, in the Underlord's post, there's a mounting spacer that allows you to use the longer injector. And you can buy adapters for the wire harness (also from ICT). May be cheaper than new injectors.

great catch...I think that may actually work...thank you for that
Between the various 'hats' and all the connectors for sale on ebay and elsewhere, I've been able to use 24#, 30#, LS3, 60#,80#, 95#, 127# and now 210# injectors on my 5.3 with stock LS1 intake. No need to get new injectors.

If the injectors are too long you can put the rail on normally and just buy a nylon spacer where it bolts to the manifold. Install it as if it was the correct injector so you can measure for the spacer and you're good to go. You may need to buy longer bolts but this is pretty common practice. Harness adapters are also available and I've had good luck with them in my own experiences. The picture theunderlord provided is an excellent reference because it shows all the connectors. It's common misnomer for people to say EV1 or EV6 for example when referring to an injector plug which is actually wrong. EV1 or EV6 or EV14 refers to the body of the injector and NOT the plug. The plugs would be something like Jetronic or USCAR designations for example so just keep that in mind if you are looking to buy another set of injectors. Sometimes for LS stuff I've seen them just referred to as "truck plug" or "ls1 connector" so while it's totally accurate it'll give you a style to reference at least. Good luck.
