Do not believe its possible. Edelbrock victor rails will fit for 90 bucks but you need all the fittings and cross over stuff plus external regulator. Likely approach 200-250 bucks all said and done depending what you get

Its just mounting them to the base thats gonna be the problem. THey dont have holes thru the rails to bolt to the bosses on the base.

Also modify ( install fittings and make lines, including the regulator).
I guess I will know when I get the manifold.

If you can make it work the stock TPI reg will be no use.No room for the crossover tube and reg on a HSR
