Yes they are standard size injectors. 99 up Lightnings had the 42#es too.

unfortunately they are not standard Bosch style plugs.

mechanically they will work, but the connectors are not the same.

I've looked into getting the pigtails, and the only place I've found them is from Ford motorsport but they are $25 ea, and they are not adapters just plugs. Needless to say they can kiss my ***. I am going to go to the junk yard and pull a late model mustang wiring harness or something like that and splice in the Ford style plugs. The plug itself is used on all different applications...injector, brake sensor, speakers, parking brake, PS pressure so I don't think it will be hard to find enough plugs to work. If I could just find out who makes those plugs for Ford, I'd be in business.

Depending on what your time is worth it will probably still be worth it if you can get a set for cheap. Just my .02.

I ended up just going to the junkyard and cutting plugs off of two, 4 cyl injected engines. I think they were 2.4l or something like that. Just take an injector with you and match it up. The junk yard guys are pretty good about you taking them if the engines are cores only. Only cost me $15. Remember that the injectors are polarity specific so keep track of which wire is positive on your wiring harness. They will be marked on the plugs.
