Default Fuel injector spacers

Would anybody be interested in spacers for the fuel injectors that would make them about 5/8" longer so that they would fit with a F-body intake manifold? Here is what I was thinking about, I saw the NOSZle kit which sits below the factory injector, and would make the injector about 3/4 of an inch longer. here is a link to a pic so you can see:
NosZle

I was thinking if you put a similar spacer, but on the TOP of the injector that was only 5/8 of an inch long or so, then it wouldn't change the spray pattern, and it would make it to where you could just bolt the stock truck fuel rails onto an LS6, or FAST intake manifold, and you wouldn't have to change out the injector harness. I talked to a machinist friend of mine, and he said that he might be willing to try to make them. You would have to just machine one cut on the outside of the top for an o-ring to fit, and just make the inside of the bottom a snug fit with the top of the injector. Let me know what you think. I am not sure if anyone has done it yet, but I think that it would work.

Good idea but, it's not that hard to change the harness. Also, the truck fuel rail looks like *** on the LS6 intake. A '97 vette fuel rail can be used because it has a feed and return like the truck rail has. The regulator can even be used on the vette rail.

Will the Vette rails clear the coil packs? I tried the stock LS1 rails with an LS6 intake and the fuel rail input fitting hits the #5 cylinder coil pack.
