injectors and rails

[Michael F. Sargent]

I've got 263,000 KM on a Toyota, and the injectors have never been looked at. 
Runs like a top (but the body is starting to decay). Buy good injectors, test 
them before you install them, and you'll probably never need to look at them 
again.

Gentlemen:

I've got a single plane intake and an old carb for a throttle body.  Now 
I want to drill holes and install 8 injector bosses and injectors/fuel rail.
(then engine is a 351-C)

Any advice?

I'd like to use O-ring injectors (the hoses on a type 6 injector make me 
nervous).  Anybody got a clever idea an to how to fasten down the fuel 
rail to the intake?

I've seen one setup that drilled a hole through the manifold and ran a 
bolt up through the hole into the bottom of the fuel rail (which had been 
threaded to accept the bolt)  This looked nice but you'd have to remove 
the manifold just to service the injectors.  Sort of a bad design bbut if 
people tell me I'll rarely need to service the injectors then I'll 
consider this option.

Thanks in advance
