    First off, Thanks Virgil for the deal on the retired performance parts!

    Here's my latest upgrade, Edelbrock fuel rails and -8 (1/2") fuel lines.

    I bought a 3/8 compression to -6 AN female adapter to mate to the fuel fitting coming out of my Corvette internally regulated fuel filter...
    -6 AN male to -8 AN male adapter...
    -8 AN female to -8 AN hose fitting...
    6' of -8 AN braided stainless hose...
    three 3/8 NPT x -8 AN male fittings going into the ends of the fuel rails...
    three -8 AN female x 90 degree x -8 AN full swivel hose ends...
    one 3/8 NPT male x 1/8 NPT female adapter...

    With these parts I was able to put together a pretty clean billet fuel rail system for not a whole lot of cash. The whole secret to it is that this is a returnless system and did not require a fuel pressure regulator and additional hose and fittings for a return line. Thanks to used parts and SummitRacing.com I have a total of under $140 invested in the conversion.

    I did have to build my own brackets and drill new holes in the fuel rails to bolt the rails to the LS2 intake. I think it came out pretty clean.

    FWIW, this is on an LS2 intake from a GTO and I am using 42 lb @ 43 PSI Delphi/Lucas injectors that are Fbody/Ford style and length.
