Any reason not to do this??

Using the stock primary rail, attach 6AN fuel line to the rail using the existing barb, and using a clamp vs, drilling and tapping the ends for 6an fittings.

Im getting close to finishing my swap and money is getting tight.

I will be using the stock 550 cc injectors.

I would think you'd be okay. Just be sure you're clamped good, etc. Might keep an eye on it for awhile. Barb/clamp setup is used elsewhere in the system, so should be okay.

Put it this way though, I would personally be okay doing it, but I would also view it as a temporary solution until i figured out how to (or saved the money for) converting it to AN fittings etc.

yeh, I would eventually convert it, but the stock system is clamps, so it shouldnt matter.

maybe ill put a little sealer on there or something.
