Yup, i've got a set installed on mine and they work just fine. It's simple
R&R on the injectors.

(1) Remove the pressure in the fuel line by removing the cap on the Schrader
valve and pressing down on the valve (lightly) with a small pen cap. (It's
on the driver's side rail near the firewall).
(2) Remove the connectors from the fuel injectors by removing the metal
clips (on the connectors). They'll come off very easy after the clips are
removed.
(3) Remove the four bolts holding down the fuel rail.
(4) Lift the fuel rail up starting on the front and working your way to the
back.
(5) Remove all of the injectors that either got stuck on the rail or
manifold. (Don't get any dirt in the rail!)
(6) Remove any rubber o-rings left either in the rail or manifold
(7) Install the new injectors in the rail. (You can slip them in easier by
putting some WD40 on the rubber o-rings (VERY light coating) Also coat the
bottom of the injectors (o-ring again)
(8) Reinstall the rail with the new injectors (press on each injector while
turning them left to right to help slip the o-ring in place)
(9) Reinstall the four bolts and the cap for the test port (that's the cap
that you removed to bleed out any residual fuel pressure)
(10)Reset the computer (Disconnect NEG side of the battery, hold key in
START position for 15 seconds, reconnect battery)
(11) Drive for about 30 miles to let the computer readjust.

That's it. It shouldn't take you more than an hour.

Do the ford motorsports injectors from summit work on the 3.9 too. If so
what's involved to install them?
