Default Coil mounts

I imagine this is covered but I will ask anyway....I am doing a 5.3 with the car intake and fuel rails. I have a good set of truck coils,brackets and harness but it interferes with the fuel rail inlet. I don't want to bend or cut the fuel rail since I just painted it and might eventually use Corvette coil covers. So is there a bracket to use with the truck coils? Any ideas?

I had to lower the entire bracket on the driver's side (I can't remember why though). All I did was remove the whole bracket, and drill new holes like 3/4" higher than the original holes. Then when i put it back on, the new holes allowed me to lower the whole assembly.

I don't know if that will fix your problem or not. I wasn't using stock rails so I don't know what exactly in in the way

I easily bent the fuel rail inlet out. Use a large screw driver and just bent what you need. Being careful not to crease it.

I can try bending it, it just seems rather rigid to me

I slipped a deep well socket over the tube end as well as an extension and gently pulled it away fir clearance. Works fine and looks stock.
