Default EV6 injectors on a LT1...

Anyone use Cobra (all blue) Injectors or any other EV6 style injector on their LT1? I have a couple questions:
1) Someone mentioned that they might leak, anyone experience that?
2) Also the stock retaining clips won't work on them, any suggestions or would they be fine without the clips?

As they are now, they are very snug in the rails, very difficult to remove them once I put them in, but I don't know if that will change when 40+ psi of fuel runs into the rails. Thanks for your help.

You're gonna need an EV1 to EV6 connecter harness, too.

They make EV6->EV1 wiring harness adapters, usually pretty easy to find in the forsale section or ebay.

I already have the EV6 - EV1 harness adapters. I was referring to the little metal clips that hold the injectors to the rail.

My bad.

I used stock clips with my SVO injectors and they worked.
I'm not sure what yours look like.
With the rail bolted down to the manifold, I'm not sure there's much room for anything to move anyhow.
