Does anyone know of any other billet fuel rails to suit Victor Junior EFI Intake

There are the Edelbrock ones, http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/3638/10002/-1

And I believe Aeromotive have one, but it only mentions LS1 & not L92/LS3, http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/fuel-rails-systems/gm/14147-edelbrock%C2%AE-ls1-intake-fuel-rail-kit/

Looking to see if there are other options

I didn't find any and ended up using the Edelbrock's. The brackets which they supplied to mount them weren't the greatest, so Eric built a set for me. But otherwise they work ok.

Are you looking for a different 'look'?

Hi Bryan
I didn't like the look of the brackets, look very flimsy in pics. Would also prefer a rounder profile on fuel rail, but not a game killer.

Did Eric keep details on the brackets he built for you?

Merry Xmas

thanks Roger

Roger (sorry about the 'd' earlier! I copied SW. :) ),

I had some painful lessons related to the brackets and my fuel injectors. The Edelbrock intake and rails are designed to use LS1-height injectors, which are 2.5" if I recall correctly. The injectors which came with my engine were 1.5" tall. The u-shaped brackets which come with the rails were too tall for us to cut them down to use with the shorter injectors.

So I scrambled to find solutions. I purchased a set of 'extensions' to adapt the shorter injectors to the taller height, but then I would have had issues with the shaker base. So I didn't use them...

So Eric simply purchased a piece of aluminum u-channel, cut some pieces about 3/4" long, rounded off the ends, and drilled holes in the correct place to mount the rails. About as simple as you can get. :) I took a couple of pictures tonight, but it's hard to see a lot of details with everything assembled...

Here are a couple of pictures in case they may help:

Thanks. Good to know. I think I need to use a Bosch EV1 style injector (which is LS1/LS6). Will be running 60lb.

I shouldn't have a height issue, but am planning to run a cowl induction style set up

p.s, nothing wrong with copying SW usually :)
