You might try some LT1 fuel rails.

I haven't heard of anyone finding a fuel rail alternative. But - if anybody DOES have one (that they are actually using) then by all means please post. To my knowledge you at least need their standard fuel rail kit (along with the special hard fuel line adapters).

Damn, well Alright then. I thought that I had read where somebaody came up with something but I could have been wrong. Just seems like an awfully large number of dollars to spend on fuel rails. Oh well, at least I'll know its been done right. And its only money afterall, right guys. Thanks.

I doubt it. I can't believe they made the fuel rails like they did. Everytime I think about how they made them I laugh and then get mad at the same time.
