not sure on that though
yours should be a return system
97-98 vette fuel rails
or use the existing rails and make brkts
I dont know about the ford 42lb'ers
sounds interesting though
do you know what height they are by chance?
I had no issues with the coils on mine

)injectors are suppost to work from what I here, that will fit the stock truck injector plugs and also fit the LS6 intake. Also, any and all ford injectors are the same as the f-body's. They said the only one that are different are the truck injectors that won't fit in the LS1 or LS6 intakes(car intakes). It seems that the same manufacture makes all of the injectors, makes them for both Ford and Chevy. I don't know.....this is what I was told. Go figure!!!

It looks like it would clear if you angled it down slightly when you drilled and tapped the new hole. Heck, it looks like it might clear the belt without angling it. Here is the whole Speartech thread.

so how hard was it to pull the water neck out of the pump? what did you use to pull it out?

this is a pretty involved mod but you are at the right place to find out what to do, whenever you start you should do your own write up, like kano did, to spread the information around.

Both Ford and Chevy have used several different height injectors, again, depending on model and year...

I was just trying to clairify what I was told. They said I could use the ford lightening 42# injectors and still use my stock injector plugs that are on the truck now and still fit the LS6 intake. This would be great if it is true. I will let ya'll know sometime this summer if this is true.Thanks,
