Default Fuel rail cover options?

I've looked and can't really get a solid answer. Anyone have a simple solution for my setup below?



I'm thinking the easiest may be to get some C5 or GTO covers and trim them.

I'd say to go with the GTO covers. Your 'Magna' adds enough size to the bay that I think regular LS1 style ones would be too small. They'd get "lost in the madness"! ... The GTOs are bigger so they should mix in well and compliment your Magna.

Enjoy the trimming. .. I'm gonna start mine tomorrow. Hopefully!

Where and how do they attach? I've never seen the underside of them or the moutning hardware.

I've been thinking about getting some covers as well. What do you have to trim? I watched the video at work but don't have sound so i apologize if that was answered.

And also to the OP, where did you get the blue connecter for the lid to the tb? And did you delete your Air Temp sensor?

The LS1 covers snap to the stock fuel rails. You can lay them up where they need to be and trim whats needed. Usually need to trim around the throttle cable and the rear. I don't think they would fit with the maggie. If they did, they would be so cut up that it wouldn't be worth the time. I have no idea how the GTO attatches or if it would sit high enough with the maggie???

The GTO covers look good. That picture looks like a 5th Gen. There will be some differences with the 4th Gens.

I found these on the Magnacharger LS1 GTO installation instructions. Looks like they clip to the Magnusson rails from the earlier photos in the instructions.





These covers looks massive and appear to conceal alot of that garbage. I may have to reroute some PCV or EVAP lines, or maybe some hoses for the intercooler but I don't see a problem. Any of you guys see a reason this would not work? Looks like my bypass valve is in a slightly different spot. The kit that I have is sort of a hybrid between the C5 and GTO kit.

I also checked the C5 installation instructions and you cannot retain Corvette FRC's on the kit.

No worries. ... Know what, I'm gonna say that unless your using stock rails or aftermarket ones with the same external cylindrical dimensions then they either won't fasten or your gonna feed to modify that part as well.

Yea. Take a look at your coil pack "brackets". There are some bolts that you'd need long/deep sockets for because a piece protrudes out from the bolt. Looks like a dull nail on the head of the bold. I know that sounds weid but I don't know how else to describe it. ....

...well THOSE bolts, feed into the center of THESE "clips".
