The fuel lines in that link are made by professional products, which is a Chinese rip of manufacturer. That is why they are cheap.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Dragging this up.  Just picked up a set of 94-95 specific rails.....CHEAP.
$20 from a local guy 5 minutes away.  It's amazing how much you notice about a part when it's removed from a vehicle. 

If you happen to come across a set of these for cheap, buy them.  VERY obvious advantages to the design just from looking at them.

Do they connect to the stock V8 fuel line?

Yes.  The fittings are the same sizes, the angles are slightly different so you CAN use the stock lines, but you'll have to play with them a bit.  The return line will be at a strange angle going in.

A buddy has a junked 95.......Had no rails though.......I'm gonna take the lines from it as it will make for a cleaner look.

FYI -- the regulator is different as well.

So it's not a direct swap. Not like I need bigger fuel rails at my power level though.;)

No, but its close I can get the Kirban adjustable 94-95 regulator cheap enough.

Great article here that mentions perhaps using a pipe bender on the Fox steel lines to bend them to conform nicely to the 94-95 rails......

My next option was the Professional Products 86-93 fuel rail kit.  With the regulator that has to be used with those rails price is about $200..... I can do this for under $100.....

My intake spacer makes it so that I don't even have to pull the upper to accomplish any of this.
