Default 1993 LT1 Fuel rail covers?

I have an Lt1 engine with a 1993 intake, the fuel lines are on the drivers side between the valve cover and the intake manifold. What are my options for running Corvette fuel rail covers? Can this be done, do I need to relocate the lines or get a new intake? Thanks any help is appreciated.

PS...the motor is from a 1997 Ws6, I'm swapping the drivetrain into a 72 Chevelle

You are talking about the 3 lines in the loom that run over the front left fender, then around next to the intake to the fpr on the back of the intake? In an F body, people will loop those lines together and zip tie them behind the front inner fender, I assume you could do the same on the Chevelle. What's your fuel system going to be comprised of?

So I could just get some 93 Corvette rails and call it done? I haven't got a chance to check out that part numbers but I've already got a set of 94-97 corvette covers that I had bought for my 96 Caprice. As far as the fuel system goes I'm running a Tanks Inc Chevelle efi tank with a Walbro 255 pump and -6AN fittings. Thanks for the replies.

Use what you have, may just need a little trimming.

Depending on the year they may need a LOT of trimming.

I got a set for my 93 ages ago, massacred the FPR side trying to get it to clear, then decided they looked terrible all cut up and tossed em away.

Wish I knew about getting mis-matched year sets like you did.

I would like to use these covers without hacking them up, I'm willing to get 93 Corvette fuel rails if that means these will fit, just want to make sure the Corvette rails will fit a 93 F body intake.

Here is a pic of the engine, notice the fuel lines coming up on the drivers side between the rail and valve cover (have red caps on them). Anyone swapped to Corvette rails on one of these intakes?

That pic is too small. Mine connect at the rear of the intake. The fuel lines aren't even an issue.
