Default Crossover Line Hitting Alternator

My fuel rail crossover is hitting my alternator. I still have the old truck accessories set up. What's the easiest remedy to fix this problem or am I going to have to get all the LS car accessories?

Run a banjo fitting on the end of that fuel rail so it clears the alternator

How about a 90* fitting on the fuel rail and then a straight fitting on the fuel line, the 90* fitting on the fuel rail should exit at a tighter angle than the 90* fitting on the fuel line, do the same on both sides.

On one of my LS swaps I ran the fuel line up to the back of the engine and then used a "T" fitting to run lines to the back of the fuel rails. I drilled and tapped the front of the fuel rails for NPT pipe plugs. So no front cross over.

Yeah looks like thats what Im going to have to do unfortunately. Those damn fittings are like $50 a piece! Plus I will need straight fittings to adapt to my steel braided teflon lines. $$$$$$$

Another idea if the fuel rails can be flipped 180* side to side, have the crossover on the back side of the engine?
