Fuel and wiring for L92 engine swap in 97 corvette

I just had an L92 put together for my 97 Corvette. I am trying to tie up some details, especially wiring and fuel. I have the stock 2 fuel line set up, and the stock fuel rails work by I need some spacers, anyone done this and know if such spacers are there any available?

Several sensors have the mismatching connectors; can I change the oil pan sensor to an LS1/LS6 sensor instead of using the L92 sensor? I am getting a harness adapter for the knock sensors, the MAP sensor and the throttle body; I have had the computer tuned on a dyno, so the uneeded sensors have been turned off. Any advice or helpful information which can be provided for such a swap will be helpful- by the way the motor made 560 HP on a engine dyno (super flo).

The fuel rails won't line up even with spacers. You will need to cut and reweld the mounting tabs and cut the crossover tube and join it with a piece of hose - not the best way to go. Tried it and it eventually leaked. It was temporary until I did this:

You can make up spacer from <1" pieces of tubing. Just cut to fit.
The level sensor from your old pan will trade out with new pan.

Doesn't Turn-Key have a special harness they sell to do this?

Thanks for the information. I really like the aftermarket fuel rail set up.

Another question: I see that there has been alot of discussion about PVC on the LS2 - How about the L92? I am only runing 10.5 to 1 compression and a .600/224 degree cam (approx) so can't I run a stock PCV set up?

Thanks for any information.

Back to the question of putting the L92 in my '97: I know the cam and crank position sensors are in different locations, but are the connections the same from '97 to '04 (for all C5s?) Need to know so if I need to I can get a harness/adapter. I have adapters/extensions for all other sensors/controlers.

Thanks
