injectors have been sitting
The LT4 has been sitting for 3 1/2 years waiting for me to fire it up in it new body, a 64 Grand Sport. I am sure the injectors have accumulated some vanish and I seen to have them cleaned. Any recommendations as to where to have them cleaned. I have seen forum discussions on RC Engineering and Cruzin Performance. Thanks

I really don't know why you are so sure that there will be problems. I just started up mine a few months ago after setting about that same amount of time. I ran some additive and they are fine. Techron is indeed the best additive that you can buy.
If you live in a metropolitan area with reformulated gas, you shouldn't even have to buy the Techron. Just top off the tank with reformulated gas and there will be PLENTY of additives in the fuel.
Good luck,

Thanks for the comments, I think I will just apply power to them and see if I hear a pop to see if they are still working. # 1/2 yrs is a log time. I will get with Rich at Crusin and see what he has to say

Since the injectors are so easy to get at on an LT1/4 engine I wouldn't worry about it until you see if you actually have problems. Try a bottle of techron first as well. Always go for the easy / cheap fix first.
