Default fuel rails

So i am doing my ls1 intake manifold swap in 3 weeks. getting the last couple needed things now. My question is will after market fuel rails like billet rails work with our application in a top swap? and how hard would the be to hook to the stock fuel line. Any input would be great. i just like the way they look on there

aftermarket fuel rails will not work being that are alternator bracket already has to be modified for clearance and hooking up the stock fuel line is very simple there is a video on here that 91 park ave posted its really easy just have to undo it from where its at now and flip it so it will line up and why go the ls6 is in my opinion a much better option if your gonna do a swap just read through davidgxps sticky and if u have headers u will either need a custom tb adp or a modified crossover pipe.

ok ill just stick with the regular fuel rails. and the ls1 intake swap im doing is actually 91parkave's old set up. i just got my own TB and need to port/polish it up a little and the ls7 MAF came in today and HPtuners should come in tomorrow so for starters and learning im going with ls1. i may eventually go ls6 or just keep ls1 and turbo. Im also doing headers/wideband 02/exhaust the same weekend i do the top swap

If one was wanting to go aftermarket fuel rails which ones are good and which ones to avoid.

Thanks...

P.S. I have an LS2 intake on my LS4.

The only way you could make this work cleanly is having two rails blocked off on the accessory side of the engine and having both feed ports go to a y block and the. Your feed line. IMO money wasted. Stock fuel rails can support all you need for n/a turbo guys might consider it
