Default Fuel rail help

Need to install new red , maybe Fast or some other, fuel rails, this is for looks only. Trying to dress up the motor. I already have valve covers, Just want to add fuel rails and coil relocation kits. I'd like to add the rails, fuel lines and what ever else I need to make it all look good? Some say I need to change the injectors to make this work out. Is that right? Please anybody that knows how to do this mod please chime in. Thanks

Negative. You don't have to change your injectors. Just order the correct fuel rail for your application - if your using stock height injectors.

If it is an LS2 no adapters needed. All others do.

LS2 injectors are taller than LS3 and LS7, so if you change the intake and fuel rails, you need to raise the injector height to allow the rails to clear the intake.

Holly makes fuel rails that are a direct bolt on for LS3 with stock injectors. I put a set on with ProForm valve covers and their coil relocation kit. Made up my own fuel lines to connect fuel rails together and to factory hard line at fire wall.

It looks like Red Rocket is right. I have an LS7, not changing the intake manifold, so I think like he says I just need to order the LS7 fuel rails and I should be good to go.
