In 92 the fuel rails have the crossover in the rear and no provision for a front crossover tube in the Intake.
I've got a later intake with the crossover groove in the intake. I really want to use this intake, however the fuel rails bolt differently so I can't use the rails from 92. I do have an intake with rails from a B-body LTx intake (has the crossover), however the feed and return are on the driver side and not the passenger side. Can I modify these rails to feed and return from the passenger side? Bite the bullet and use AN lines and fittings and customize the heck out of the fuel lines? Are the 95 and up fuel rails available and make this real simple? TIA |

All sorts of customizations...
I would reach out to Vette2Vette.com and ask Jason for the proper rails. They are available and they are not that expensive. |

Jim - I'm using 92 rails on my LT4 intake. There is enough flex in the system to allow the bolt holes to line up. I've been looking to get 96 rails but that task keeps being pushed down my to-do list :-)

I'm with Andy. With 40+ psi running through those rails and lines, I'd be hesitant to do any mods there. The time you'll save buying and installing rails that fit from the get-go will be worth the money you'll spend on the proper rails. | jaa1992 | Re: Fuel Rail question - LTx | ||

Really . hmmmmmmmm Still think it would be better with the later rails. Work has been a bear and haven't had time to call around. |

Yep. See here: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-te ... ntake-lt1-fuel-rails.html Also my engine builder (Grimes in Alpharetta) says the combo is fine. The bolt holes are off very slightly, just make sure you hand-thread all 4 bolts before snugging them down. |

Now.. having said all of the above, I am searching for later fuel rails for asthetic reasons :-)
