Long story short is I have a 97 with an 03 longblock. The fuel system is still the stock return style and I'm putting stock 97 rails on and selling my aeromotive stuff to free up a little cash since I'm N/A. The intake is obviously a 99/01 style, so I was wondering what some of you have done to modify the brackets for the 97 rails to mount to the 99/01 intake?
Also, it seems the rails are going to take a little flexing of the rubber connecting lines to get them to line up on the injectors. Is this normal or have the rails possibly got a little out of shape from sitting on the shelf off a car for a year? I can flex them to conform some, but don't want to kink or bend where it inhibits fuel flow.
Any experience or input on this topic is greatly appreciated....
Here are some pics of the rails, you can kind of see how offset each injector port is from the one on opposite rail (as in they are staggered a tad more than normal I believe)
