Pull them out, lube them up, PUSH.. They should pop in. Some intakes the boss holes are tighter then others.. Better yet compare them to the ones you took out.. from the looks they are the standard delphi shorties..

I removed it from the engine.
It is a Jeep wrangler that a shop installed a 5.3L in. They used a 1998 pcm/harness and installed LS1 injectors to match the harness pigtails and apparently did a lot of really sketchy stuff. The shop then closed and the guy brought the vehicle to me to fix it
The engine ran very strange once it entered closed loop. The engine would rev at a high/low frequency back and forth once throttle was applied. I tried diagnosing it, but never was able to fix it. So I removed the 1998 pcm/harness to install a 5.3 harness/pcm and also swap 5.3 injectors onto it.
This is where I am right now, I removed the intake from the engine and installed the 5.3 injectors onto it and noticed they would not fit

Aklo-- I'm having to swap in a harness that will work with the 5.3 injectors, as before it had a 1998 ls1 pcm/harness w/ LS1 injectors (I'm sure you just read this in what i just posted, but I didn't want to be rude and ignore your post lol)

Not to worry though, the PT crew will find the answers.

At least I can now tell the owner that he needs to go pick up a 2002 5.3 Silverado intake/fuel rail set up
I wonder why the shop used this setup

Pull one of them injectors out, give me a measurement, I have like 4 sets of stock injectors in the garage.. I will go take a check also.. The only diff I see is that fuel rail is raw in color and not black.. Other then that it looks the same to a 03 back one.. Has the FPR on the side, the little plate that holds the cross over in with the O-ring..
