Aftermarket Rails with Firewall Clearance......
Do they exist? What are the options for a potentially custom set?
I repaired some pretty bad firewall clearancing when I did the Mamo top end on the car a few years back. Need to finish up the fuel system to turn it up all the waybutfuel rails are the big stopping point.
And anyone set up a parallel rail system that clears the firewall for a LS1/6/2 manifold setup? Putting holes back into the wall is NOT an option for me. Looking for rails only. I can build the rest of the system.

I replaced my fuel rails with an inexpensive pair of Jegs rails. I used a tee fitting and ran an-6 line to each rail in the front and simply capped the back ports because of the tight fit, This works fine. I replaced a the stock rail. I run a boost referenced regulator and at 917rwhp.

I am in the middle of this as well. I came across a ORB to 6AN banjo style fitting from radium engineering. It actually clears! I’m going to take about .250”-.375” off the back of the driver rail, and re countersink it for the ORB seal, I am afraid that it will tap the firewall when the motor torques over how it sits. 8AN feed on the passenger side, 8AN crossover up front, 6AN return coming out of the drivers side.
