Default Need to know if I can use a common size injector in place of the short 5.3 ones

So I bought a 5.3 flex fuel motor L59. It has these short injectors on it that are rated to 33lbs I think. I have a set of normal length edelbrock injectors rated to 60 lbs. I'll be running a twin turbo setup and need the larger injectors. I would love to use the edelbrocks...

Can it be done and how???

I did search but didn't find anything specific.

I did it the other way around. I had tall injectors and went to 43#short 2011 Camaro injectors. I used Aeromotive rails, and remade the mounting brackets.

Just space the fuel rail mounting bracket with a nylon washer and longer bolts. It's been done lots of times. I even think in one of denmah's threads he lists the hardware store part number...
