aftermarket fuel lines to stock fuel rails??? help me

ok, I'm doing a 350 tpi swap into a 87 Monte SS, I have almost everythign figured out except for the fuel lines. On the monte, they come up on the passenger side, and i have a camaro fuel rail which puts the fuel lines towards the drivers side, that isnt really my concern though, I just want to run aftermarket hard lines from the fuel rail connection down to the frame rail where i'll use high pressure hose and fitting to connect to the hard monte lines. Are the any aftermarket fitting that match up with the tpi ones or are they a special type? Has anyone done this before , if so, how? I got a grand national gas tank that puts the pump in the tank and all rubber hoses will be replaced so all thats taken care of. i just need to connect the fuel rail to the hard lines and thats holding me up. HELP ME

Acell make a fitting to Attach AN fittings to the fuel rails then you can run flexable line to your hard lines. You can get these at Summit Racing or Jegs

I did the other way around. aftermarket fuel rail to factory lines.

Anyway, yeah you can prolly get adapters. Or you can cut an oem line for hte fitting, and make a 3/8 union, 5/16 on return.

i just ordered the Earls fittings, adapters, lines, etc. should be here in 3-4 days and then it'll be put together. I got everything i need to attach the stock fuel rails to the hard metal lines on the frame, no half-assing it for me, lol. Now once the tank arrives everything should be good....

I'm doing a similar swap but took a different approach. I've installed turbo Buick fuel lines which terminate on the driver's side. (Tip: swap line size on the return and vapor line.)
This allows use of stock style flexible lines to connect the rails to the lines.
Good luck. CG

you could try and score a set of corvette fuel rails.instead of bending to the driver side the corvette rails come straight out towards the front of the motor on the pass. side

Acell make a fitting to Attach AN fittings to the fuel rails then you can run flexable line to your hard lines. You can get these at Summit Racing or Jegs
i have these fittings brand new and i'll sell them cheaper them those two.
