Default Looking for 746 injectors?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to give a heads up. I am going to pop in a pick a part in the near future to pluck some 746 injectors out of old Volvo's. Just wanted to put it out there in case someone else needs them. Price would depend on what I pay for them (I've seen anywhere between $6-15 each at various pick a parts) + shipping (most likely $5.95 Priority shipping). Let me know if I can help!

I'm familiar with 703 and 749 injectors. I have 749 injectors now in my 99 XJ. What are 746 injectors and what model years 4 liter engine are they for?

Suprise comes when you only find 5.

Bosch 746 injectors. It's an upgrade for a renix engine. Lol yeah grew up with 90s volvo s so no surprise on the 5 cylinder but do have to make sure the junkyard has a few laying around.

I never heard of a 5 cylinder engine before. Huh.

Huh is probably what every guy says when he finds only 5 injectors and was expecting 6.

Why could they build a 5 cylinder? A 6 is a well balanced relatively smooth running engine. I'm curious how smooth running is a 5?

Dang! Good deal. I'm on the road so I can't have them mailed and the cheapest pick a part that I've found so far was $6.49 a piece and that was back in your home state of Florida. They just didn't have the right volvos in stock at the time.

Ok so yeah, forget what I said about going to the yard. I wanted to get them while I was on the road but I think Im gonna go with the eBay link and have em shipped. Their cheaper and I don't have to do any work to get them.
