Default LT1 Fuel Injector questions

I'm looking to upgrade my fuel injectors but with so many injectors available I'm not sure what will be suitable for LT1 specific application. My concerns are not the actual Lbs/hr rating but rather specs such as :
Overall Height (in), Seat to Seat Height (in),Manifold O-Ring Outside Diameter (in),Fuel Rail O-Ring Outside Diameter (in). Should I be concerned about such dimensions or will any injector basically work as long as I get the correct Lbs/hr rating and High impedence.
Thanks

I just ordered a set of reconditioned design III from Jon at FICINJECTORS He is a Forum member and really knows his stuff. He also has a few videos on the subject. Good Luck

You don't need to know all that crap, just buy an OEM replacement if your car is not heavily modded. Get new injectors if you have the coin. I don't know why anyone would want to take out used injectors and put used cleaned injectors back in if you plan on keeping the car.

if you get new injectors for your lt1 you wont have to worry about specs, they will fit just fine, just make sure there for a lt1. i got the 30lb accel injectors for mine and they work and fit just fine.

Just an option, it wont hurt anything. Plus the price isn't bad,
And I'm confident about the company that is selling them to me.
