Default 5.3 problems with LS1 fuel rail?

I was doing some assembly today and found another issue. I am still running the 5.3 truck coils but they interfear with the LS1 fuel rail outlet. What is everyone doing to fix this? I think I have seen guys braze a 90 degree elbow on? I have never brazed so it might be a learning curve

Stick a screwdriver in it and bend it out of the way.

Casey, I used a deep well socket with an extension to slightly bend the inlet back and up. Then with the use of the Russel line adapter I still had to trim the coil bracket. Actually I cut a 3/4 in section right out of it and made the bracket 2 piece. With the coil bolted back on it becomes one unit again.
