Default Whats the difference..?

..between the fuel injectors on a v6, and v8?

IMG_1426.jpg

For my engine swap i am using my harness for my v6 and splicing in the two extra injectors but... my 3.9 uses the style on the right and the 5.2 has the one on the left.

Now... Will the injectors from a v6 work in a 318? Are there any difference b/w them? My options here are..

1. put the injectors from my v6 into the v8(if itll work) and buy two more of the same for 7&8.

2. put the injectors from the v6 into the v8(if itll work) and use 2 of the v8 style injectors for 7&8

3. Buy a whole new wiring harness that will have all 8 connectors the same for the v8 style injector(200$)
