Buying a second engine for a build
Is there any reason this wouldn't work to have it built with forged internals and swap into my C8?

After looking closer at the listing I would bet money that's it a new 22 from the tornado damaged ones. I won't even say how many thousands I've spent at stickers, Nordstroms, pacific motors, and Spaulding auto. They have all the factory ones but are getting pretty picked over. The parts are great new take offs.

I am not sure these engines are from the tornado damaged cars.
I'll have to check but at some point the injector size changed and along with it the physical injector bore size.
I purchased "serial #1" that didn't have valve covers or a crank pulley and its near spotless. The oil pan had obviously been removed and whoever reapplied the sealant went a little nuts. I removed the pan to inspect and it looks new. I cleaned up the mess of sealant and popped the pan back on just yesterday.

With the injector change does that mean 20-21 injectors won’t fit the 22 or newer heads?

If you are installing into a car that's to be tuned the older larger injectors are more desirable anyway and can even be swapped out for LT4 injectors.
