Hi folks.

This seems viable but could use input.

Has anyone installed an ABA fuel rail turned end for end (180ยบ) so the fuel hose end is near the firewall? I'd measure angles etc. but if mounted that way, it appears the injector angle, and distance from rail to intake (injector length, installed) looks the same as OEM. Each fuel injector retaining clip fits fine.

Images showing quick mock up of rail position, bracket type to be fabricated:

looking from rear to front, pulley end of engine. Bracket would be shorter than shown:

Note: not all fuel rails have the pressure test port.

Thanks,

Neil.
