Yes, they are. They are the shortest injectors yet for Gen III motors.

The results are that they fit. They are not a direct plug-n-play fit, but they do fit. Here are some pics and tomorrow I'll add more pics with what I needed to do to get them to fit properly. 9I promised my kids that I would watch Star Wars VI with them.

Cool , let us know what you had to do to get them to fit .

So From what I gather it' just new brackets right? and is this the 'LS1' Kit or LS2 Kit base?

The brackets are still used, but the holes need to be enlongated.

Like this







The other mod is that the front bracket holes through the rails are about an inch off, so I had to drill another hole through the rail to line up with the bracket.

Like this;







The rails are from an LS2 kit, but I think LS1 rails will also work with the same mods. needed.

You might want to offer these already modified for the l76 intake .

You read my mind, LOL.

I was thinking the same thing, although the mods aren't extremely difficult, it is important to get it right, since we are dealing with high pressure fuel lines. The injectors have to be sitting at the proper angle and have no up and down play.

Additionally the screws through the rails need to be ground down so that the rails can be slid in far enough to be properly aligned with the injector bosses in the intake.

I have more detailed pics but I've reached my image quota for now.

I usually have at least 1 L76 intake in stock for porting swaps and for L92 head packages which can be used to mock up the rails or to even ship out the rails, premounted to the intake and then have the core returned.

I'll have to figure out a few options depending on whether the rails are shipped alone or mounted to an intake.
