Default Fast fuel rail issue

Does anybody here have any experience installing Fast Fuel Rails on a stock LS7 427 manifold? So far I've tried model number 146033 and 146027 the later was shipped direct from fast for this application and will not fit. Not even close. So I'm guessing that someone here has installed Fast rails on a stock manifold? Any help here is appreciated.

They are junk. I would return them. The tie downs are cheap and flex and can cause an engine fire. One local almost burnt his car down from that. Get aeromotive or a different brand, or have some custom billet brackets made.

Holley has rails for a stock LS3 manifold which I have used for a year with no problems, maybe they have rails for stock LS7 or possibly LS3 rails would work? Give them a call.

Thanks
I looked at the Holly one's. I could only find them in black. Just doing this for the looks factor and in my case they need to be red.

I looked at the Aeromotive and looks like that's the way to go. I'll call them in the morning.
Thanks for the suggestion, didn't even think about them.

do not use the FAST rails. I have had major issues with them. My car had a major fuel leak with them twice and I'm very very lucky to not have a major incident. I run the aeromotive stuff now and no more fuel smell and is working like champ.

Unreal was dead on in his account and I had a similar experience.

Also I've packed up both set's of Fast rails to be returned on Monday. It'll be Aeromotive or nothing after this ordeal. Thanks for all the pointers.
