Default tractor injectors

Ive got a bunch of tractor injectors that i thought about tryin to use in my truck. But most of them are only 4 hole ones and they are huge holes does anyone think they would be worth my time. I do have some 7 hole ones too.

what kinda engine with what pump did they come from? I would think you could mess some stuff up if they are too far off.

My math might be not perfect but i think its close.

compared to the cross section area of stock IC injectors-
4x.345... like 1000 x's bigger than stock
4x.0345 ...like 10 x's the size of stock
4x.00345 ...like 1/10th of the size of stock
3x.4... like 1000 x's bigger than stock
3x.04...like 10 x's the size of stock
3x.004...like 1/10th of the size of stock
