Fuel rail to use truck injectors on car intake?
Ok, so I had the idea of trying to look around for a fuel rail, possibly one of the billet aluminum ones, that can use a truck style injector with a car style intake. Specifically the LS1 intakes. What issues would I come across while trying this? Any suggestions on where to start?

The stock truck style injectors from an '01 tahoe. I bought a used LM7 last june and was curious if it would even work to use an aftermarket aluminum extruded rail. I don't know if the top part of the injector is the same on the truck and car style injectors. They are a 22lb injector, pn 25326903 non flex fuel.

You would need an injector spacer. The stock injectors are very short.

This is the Truck style injector I am talking about.
I need a spacer for this style? I thought that it was the car style ones that needed spacers when being used on a truck rail. I want to do away with the car style rail and injectors, and use the truck injectors with a different aftermarket rail if possible.

I am talking about spacers to make the injector taller.
The spacers for the car injectors are to space the rails up.... just the opposite to what you are doing.

Ok, I think I understand where you are coming from. If I used a fuel rail like the one attached that vejatabul posted, then I would also need a spacer correct? If this is correct then where is a place where I can look for a place to buy these spacers? The reason why I want to go about it this direction is to try and do something out of the ordinary.
