The injectors which came with my engine were 1.5" tall. The u-shaped brackets which come with the rails were too tall for us to cut them down to use with the shorter injectors.

So I scrambled to find solutions. I purchased a set of 'extensions' to adapt the shorter injectors to the taller height, but then I would have had issues with the shaker base. So I didn't use them...

So Eric simply purchased a piece of aluminum u-channel, cut some pieces about 3/4" long, rounded off the ends, and drilled holes in the correct place to mount the rails. About as simple as you can get. I took a couple of pictures tonight, but it's hard to see a lot of details with everything assembled...

Here are a couple of pictures in case they may help:
Thanks. Good to know. I think I need to use a Bosch EV1 style injector (which is LS1/LS6). Will be running 60lb.

I shouldn't have a height issue, but am planning to run a cowl induction style set up

p.s, nothing wrong with copying SW usually
