Corvette Fuel rails

Do i have to do any mods in order for me to put Corvette fuel rails on my 95 LT1? and where is the best place to get them besides ebay?

Re: Corvette Fuel rails

I'm not certain about the LT1 Corvette rails, but on the LT4 the fuel lines connect to the rail from the passenger side instead of the driver side. If thats the case, you'll need to reroute your fuel lines.
What would be the advantage to using the Vette rails?

Re: Corvette Fuel rails

oh, do you mean the fuel rail covers?
Like these on my truck motor..

Notice how the fuel rail connections are on the opposite side from the f-body connections. Also notice how the rear of the drivers side cover is, it would be right in the way of the f-body fuel lines if they didn't connect on the passenger side. I'm also certain the regular LT1 Vette covers are exactly the same just without the red lettering.

Define "worth"..... it may look good, but that's purely subjective. It isn't going to make any more HP, and its probably going to cause the injectors to run hotter.

Here's a 95 Corvette engine bay. I don't know whether it is worth buying the pieces, I don't believe there are any performance benefits. However, my injectors seem to be fine even on my 170+mph speed runs.

Re: Corvette Fuel rails

As you can see from the LT1 pics above, the fuel rails are the same as my LT4....so unless you change the f-body fuel rails to use the Corvette ones that exit the opposite side, and then reroute your fuel lines so they can connect on the passenger side...the covers will not work unless you hack them up, then that defeats the purpose of trying to have a nice "Clean" look". I guess you could cut the back "Square" hump off the covers on the drivers side but that may look funny.
Not worth the trouble in my opinion.
