I bought some -8an steel weld-on fittings, and drilled a 5/8" hole on the back about 1/4" deep. The LS2 rails are 5/8" O.D., so they squeezed on and stayed in place, Dave's Engine Machining in Newark did the precision TIG welding ($40). The first pic shows the 'shock aborber' inside the cut-off end of the rails. The second pic you can sortof see the back of the weld on fittings drilled (fittings $5 each) and the ends that I cut off (using a dremel). Third pic shows the fitting on the burnished end of the rail.
You mentioned that you were going to use the stock LS1 rails but they didn't look as good. How were you going to address the stock pulsator on the LS1 rails? Can you back feed it? What size fitting would fit on the LS1 rails? Were you looking at using f-body rails or 97-98 vette rails with a return port?
I want to do this with stock LS1 rails so I can keep my custom fuel rail covers. Any help would be appreciated.

None of the aftermarket fuel rail kits have dampeners, large rubber hose lines will absorb pulses from the fuel pump(s).

its is actually not aregulator. its apulse damper. your regulator is in your tank. i did alot of searching and askng and more searching. its actualy really not needed as you can tell. if u wanta bleeder valve for your system u can just get aplug like i did and have it tapped for a schrader valve.

When you guys purchase say a Speed inc fuel rail setup and install kit, I am assuming it comes with EVERYTHING needed. Are the lines pre-made or do they allow you to cut them to length? My plan was to run the crossover line in the rear and the feed line to the left front like factory and just block the right front with a plug. I did not plan to use anything else no dampner or return. Does that sound about right? Thanks for the help.

Can someone tell me please: will the LS2/LS3 rails fit the LS6 manifold...?
I need it to look stock-like but I don't like the dark colored LS1 rails, I do like the shiney look of the LS2 rails (are they stainless steel...?).
Do you have a part number handy...?
Thanks a million.

I am bringing this back to the top... I am looking for someones setup that I thought I saw in this thread but can not find it.
Does anyone have or seen a setup that has both rails plumed to go back to the regulator. I am posting a pic so you can kind of tell what I am talking about!
I am looking for someone elses setup, I think that they used a magnaflow Regulator. If you can post better pics I would really appreciate it
