I have done a few FI systems in Aeroquip braided stainless lines.
You can get -AN fuel rails and adjustable fuel pressure regulator from Porsche suppliers.
The only non -AN connects would be the return and attachment at the fuel pump.
These setups ran approx. $350.00 complete.
The nicest thing about this setup is that the rails and regulator have pressure gauges attached for easy debugging.
The parts are all 914.

With all those lines snaking all over the top of the engine -- scary!  I
really was tempted to plumb in metal tubing around the perimeter of the
engine bay and run short rubber lines down to the injectors -- however
I've sort of learned not to try to be smarter than the engineers who do
this for a living...

Also I guess any such solution would ideally need to be mounted on
stand-offs from the motor so it would not move relative to the motor
during acceleration.
