6.1 fuel rails on 5.7

I picked up a set of 6.1 fuel rail and need soem help. Has anyone done this that wouldn't mind showing me how to do it? When I get my half covers I want to put these on.

Not hard, I had Elcobra do mine. You just have to bend them a little in the back. I wouldnt feel comfortable doing them by myself on someone elses car. I could help out though.

Yeah I just need help cause I don't feel comfortable doing it myself. Always like a extra set of eyes around.

Just the rails, or did you retain the injectors too? If you want the 6.1 injectors, I just happen to have a set with very low milage on them. Like new!! and cheap, too.

Nope just the rails what you want for the injectors?

$50 in perfect condition. I changed them out in April, 2010. I just looked it up and they came out at 6,000 mi.

Let me think about and I'll let you know

There still in the boxes nice and neat. Let me know.

What parts do I need to mount these specifically what type bolt, washer, and nut?

Everything bolts up the same as your 5.7 rails. Use your old hardware.

Well that makes it easy. I just wanted to make sure trying to work out all the little details so I can finish my engine bay.

I'm down to help as well.

When I get my final piece back I will need some help with it all. Hopefully be able to do it all next weekend. Want to have it done so when I got to tx I can represent CAMM proper.

Remember you have to bend the 6.1 rails a little bit so they fit. You can look it up on LX I'm sure there is a write up on it. We did mine ghetto style! Laid them on the floor on carpeting or a piece of card board. Put your foot on the rail to hold in place and pull to bend the other side. If you dry fit them you will see what needs to be bent. Make sure all your o-rings on the injectors look good. If not replace them, they only cost a few cents a piece.

I've test fitted them and knew they need to be bent. What do you have to do to remove the intake manifold?

I dont remember having to take the intake manifold off. You do need a special tool to disconnect the gas line. Not expensive maybe $10 at the most.

I know you don't have to but mine is getting painted so while doing the rails figure do it all at once
