Why not just cut it a bit shorter and flare it and use a longer flex hose?

PG,
I'm just in the process of doing this myself.
The key fittings you need are the AN adapters to the Ford EFI fuel rails. A set (1 large, 1 small) can be had from www.anplumbing.com, part number 5700, for $59.95. These adapt to an AN-6 hose. Then a tube nut and sleeve over a 37 degree flare connects to the FFR steel fuel lines. The supply line, 5/16", is AN-5, the return, 1/4", AN-4, I think. I'm planning to use AN-6 hose, with reducing adapters to match the supply and return lines.
Pure choice and www.ronmorrisperformance.com also have the ford EFI adapter fittings.

Why do they have you bend the fuel rails? I dont understand.

Also the fuel rails/lines off any fuel injected v8 5.0 ie t-bird, lincoln, etc, will work they are the same.
Upper intake and and throttle body are the only difference. Even the lower intake on any of these is the same as the HO motor.
The bone yard should have these for pretty cheap plus you could get some spare parts. Nuts bolts sending units etc.

I posted about this very topic a couple of weeks ago...
Fuel Line Info
Advil, if you still need the stock rails let me know.

About 10 minutes ago, I just removed my fuel rail extensions, in order to plumb in the braided hose to the connectors at the top of the motor. Advil, you are welcome to mine, too, if you need them.
Also, those of you doing this can save yourself the purchase of a 37 degree flare tool, if you use compression fittings that utilize a 45 degree flare, the same as your brake lines, on the end of the hard line at the motor, with a fitting which then converts it to -6 AN. I bought these adaptors and fittings for 10 bucks a set (one for the 1/4" and one for the 5/16",) from Pure Choice, and they convert the hard line to -6 AN, then you run a piece of braided up and over to the 60 dollar connectors at the fuel rail. It worked pretty slick, if it wasn't for my forgotten FMU... (another trip to Earl's for more fittings and hose.) AND Purechoice provided me a couple of -6 AN hoses with straight fittings swaged on, for a most reasonable price... far less than summit...
So, about $15-20 ea. for the 24-30" hoses, $20 for the hard line fittings/adapters, and $60 for the ford quick-release-to- -6 AN" fuel line fittings... don't forget $10 at autozone for the Ford fuel injector quick release tools, total: $130 and you can have nice SS braided fuel line runs in your engine compartment.
