I would screw the piece in place with two sheet metal screws, then drill the holes through the sheetmetal and through your fire walls and pop rivet the piece in place with about 8-10 rivets.
the gun can be bought 8-15 bucks at an lowes or autozone, harbor freight etc.

the POP rivets come in different sizes, typically 1/8"

Always good to hear from you Brian. I bought the injectors off the Corvette forum for $200 shipped. Good thing with the Siemens is they can flow 80lbs if you bump fuel pressure to 85lbs...I wouldn't for my needs, but its nice to know. I chose the 5308 cam because it offers a cheap bang for the buck and its a tried and true method for people running boosted engines. Only thing that seems to be better is the ZR1 cam, but necessitates a new cam cover, cam wire extension and a few other knick knacks. I might go that route when I acquire my iron headed 6.0 this summer.

Not sure about the oil restrictors. I bought oil feed/return kits from ebay for my t70's and the adapter that bolts to the feed side of the turbo only has a .030" hole for oil to flow from the line into the turbo. Would that be considered a restrictor? One of the adapters even had a small ball bearing looking thing in the hole that had several small flat spots on it(assuming that is to allow oil to flow by), but I took it out because the other adapter didn't have one. I'll take a pic tomorrow.
