BBK SSI intake fuel rails?
So I got the BBK SSI Intake manifold for my 5.0 and it came with its own specific fuel rails. Only problem with that is they're set up for stock feed and return fuel lines, and I'm running all AN lines. I try to install the aftermarket fuel rails i had from before onto the SSI intake and immediately they leak (SSI fuel rails are angled differently.) I call up BBK to see if they offer any other fuel rails or a conversion kit or adapters of any kind to fit my fuel lines... no luck. Have any of you installed this intake with AN lines and if so what do you do? Are there some fuel rails out there that would work for this application or amI on my own?

He is right. You could spend all day reading post as to why this intake is a POS. I have first hand knowledge. I had to bitch and raise hell but i finally got a full refund. If you have not used it yet return it andstep away, very faraway.Yea i know it looks unique and BBK makes it so it must be good right, WRONG.I would use the money for a good used set of heads if you dont have them already. The intake really wont do **** with out supporting heads anyway.

Haha, I'm personally not really a mustang guy, its my boss's car and I really wasn't looking to get told to go screw basically, but if that really is the case I guess i'll be pulling that off tomorrow and calling them back. Saves me a lot of headaches in the end, thanks for the advice.
