Default LT1 fuel rail

How much do you think a new fuel rail would be from GM? Iam about to buy one off the internet and wondering how much one is new?

Years ago they were over $250.00 per side from GM. Probably more now if they are even available.

Why do you need new? What's wrong with used/junkyard ones?

i wouldnt say it's polishing, just ensuring you get all the dust, dirt, etc. out of the tubes. Brake cleaner does wonders to stuff!

That's insane! If they aren't corroded or pitted you can get a pretty nice polished finish justby using Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish and a towel or terry cloth.

I bought a second set off of ebay for really cheap, like $25. Took it apart and am going to get some an fittings welded to it. They do polish up really easy. I think I started w/ 1500 grit wet and then used some mother's and they came out really nice, especially on top of my fully polished intake manifold. Hehe
