You sure about that? I had the FAST 90MM intake manifold on my car and the 99 model stock fuel rails fit on it without any problems.

i was talking bout the 98 rails not fitting on the ls2 because of the cross over i believe

You will need:
1) Fuel quick disconnect tool (can find at Autozone for cheap)
2) New gaskets (O'Reillys)
3) Torque wrench set to 89 in-lbs (please verify)
4) Torque pattern for tightening the bolts
5) Anti-seize for the bolts
Its really pretty straight forward. Except removing the fuel line is fun the first time you do it
Is that what you meant by 'what do i have to do?'

Gaskets are reusable on the intake.
You will also need a 90mm throttle body, so it hast to be aftermarket. Vette TBs are drive by wire. I don't think any LS2 equipped cars came with cable actuated TBs.
Your injectors will not fit unless you change the o-rings
You will have to extend the MAP sensor wiring if I recall correctly.

I hope there is no one dumb enough out there to use 89 ft-lbs on a small bolt like that
Let common sense prevail
Also, the gaskets are reuseable, but I think its a good investment to go ahead and replace them. Thats a fair amount of work to do and have to take the intake back off if one leaks. I've had the throttle body gasket leak after changing the throttle body. I replaced the gasket and the problem was solved
