Default Corvette Frc's on 5.3 with truck coils

So I'm running ls1 intake and injectors with the 5.3 truck coils with heat sink and brackets. I'm just trying to figure out how to get these to fit. Any advice? I searched a lot but couldn't find any pics of them being installed.

With the wires running in front of the fuel rail, they will never fit. That's one place they clip onto. You also have the set made for two fuel lines, but you only have one. Another reason you will probably not get them to fit.

I will be re routing the wiring, I'm not sure why the two fuel lines would make a difference as to how they attach though?

Clip them on the fuel rails and get rid of or adjust whatever stops them from sitting down on the outer side.

From what I can gather, I'm missing some sort of studs that the covers snap into?

Your fuel line has to run through the slot in the cover. You need the covers with only one slot in the drivers side cover.

Well just with quick mock up, the fuel line routes where it needs to, so I don't see the two line covers being a problem. I just don't understand how they actually attach, and what hardware I'm missing to make them attach.

Did you get the fuel line clips under the covers to attach?

Here is a picture with the FRC mounting bolts circled. This is what you will need to mount the covers. You might find some on ebay. That's where I found the picture to clip out part of. They want $135 for that coil setup, so that's a little much just for the mounting studs. I see you are also missing 4 of the clips on the bottom of your covers. Finding them will be a bitch. There are no clips to be had on ebay, but they have new covers at a decent price.

Every f-body from '01 to '02 that I've seen has the mounting studs from the factory.
I put frc's on my '02 and the studs were already there.

My point is they can't be that hard to find. I could put the ones on my Z28 on ebay but it's not worth the trouble.
I think I have a spare set somewhere actually, I know I have spare coils and I sold the brackets a long time ago.....I'm in FL too

From the looks of my truck brackets, will the studs go where they need to you think? If you think they will work I'll but them from you man. I know I'm missing some of the other clips but if I can get at least one clip per side on I can live with that for temporary. Thanks man!
