Ebay usually has some at any given time, also check the for sale section of this forum. New is going to be $$$, may be better off buying used, sending them in for flow and balance until you get a good set.

If you've actually got them, you can just get them blueprinted instead of buying new ones.

I had good luck in finding injectors at my local BAP Import Parts store. They have a part number and get theirs rebuilt from 'Cobra' - while they seem to be just fine, they are rebuilds, so expect that you're not going to get Factory performance out of them. For $100 each (x2), I decided to give them a shot.

On installation, I found that the rebuilder put some very delicate paint on them which quickly ate away with the fuel that was leaking from the rail. Fixed the fuel leak, and started it up - lumpy idle, poor throttle response.

I sent these 2 and about 4 other SE fuel injectors that I'd collected over the years, including my 2 original injectors, off to a local speedshop who works on injectors for cleaning, flow-testing, spray-patterning, and balancing.

What I got back was 2 injectors (out of 4-5) that were good, fed within 5% of each other, and on installation fixed my idle quality and throttle response issues. Neither of the 2 'good' ones were the Cobra rebuilds, I might add...

As cores - they may be going back to BAP. I would buy factory in the future, just to save a headache. Pay now or pay later - eBay may help you find it cheaper. Good luck, HTH,
