I have ABA (?) smooth collar stainless steel hose clamps on mine now for
~30K now and all is well. Hydrex put them on during engine swap and would
probably sell them to you. Maybe Ed has them too.
FWIW-really look at the fuel rails while you're in there. Don't know what
they cost, but if they are inexpensive I'd just replace them while you're
in there. Replacing mine is omn my to so list, then almost every part of
the fuel system in the engine compartment will be "young"
