Fuel Rails - 351w angled injectors

I am wanting suggestions for aftermarket/custom fuel rails with stock angled injectors for 351w.
Could probably make 302w style rails work, just cannot seem to find anything that will break the bank.
I wouldn't have thought fuel rails were so expensive, but then again, I don't want to cheap out, probably just keep stock rail.
Just don't like the look of the 'chrome' piping the stock ones are, and would like either black or aluminum, not red/blue.

You can buy blank rails, essentially at a 'by the foot' price, then have a decent shop machine them to your required fit. That's what I did. They would need your manifold though.

Unfortunately it was LeJeune Performance that did it for me circa 2006. I think they're closed now? I don't think it can be that tough though, I had mine back next day. Cost me about $80 for the labour.
If your intake is convential 351w, can't you just select one of the aftermarket brands/styles that you like?
I was starting from scratch, as I bought an old Pro-Flo intake manifold without rails, and had to come up with something that would fit the injectors and bolt up to the fixtures on the manifold.

Edelbrock are not in stock, not going down that road, still waiting for a head ordered Nov.2020, not a typo.
TrickFlow $500-$700, expensive.
Other no-name brands $100-$200 will need to be modified for fuel test/pressure port, and also external regulator.
There are other brands, that say "OEM fit angle ports", then go on to say "Only fit aftermarket manifolds". Not going to gamble $200-$400 on something that 'may' work.
Probably just going to keep stock rails, and create a aluminum cover to hide the stock chrome.

Nothing wrong with using what works. You are likely the only one who'll notice it.
