Default Fuel Injectors

Ok Guys..........Im sorry if this has been answered before but i couldnt find any threads on this.

I have a 87 Corvette with the 350 5.7L V8

I have 2 injectors which are starting to go bad (leaking--after driving it and then parking it in the garage you can smell the gas under the hood)

Im thinking about replacing all 8 since they are probably the original injectors. The car has 111,000 miles on it

MY question is which injectors should i purchase ? I am trying to be money conservative at the same time and was thinking about getting these and needed to know if this was a good choice or a bad one.

thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Again, Sorry if this question has been beaten to death...........still a newbie at this.

Those injectors are FIC or John Banner's Bosch 3 fuel injectors.
They are a good choice for your 87 Vette on a budget replacement fuel injector set

2X on the FIC injectors! John has a good rep on the board and has a sticky at the top of the page.

Did all 8 injectors on my 87 with injectors from FIC about $200 with gaskets and "O" rings. Runs great, fuel mielage went up 50% (when I don't punch it), better response. My mechanic did another 88 vette and paid $100 per injector.
