Default Fuel rail compatibility problems

So here is the issue. I used a fuel rail from the 96 Ram I got my donor engine out of to replace the current 360 in place. The old fuel rail had a slice in the fuel line. The new rail has a female connector on it, as does the fuel line itself. The new fuel rail is nicer IMO, made out of plastic and won't rust like the old metal one. I almost think I need a male to male piece of hard line in between to join them now, but I don't think such a line exist. Any ideas?

Old Fuel rail...


New fuel rail next to old fuel rail....


Existing fuel line and old fuel rail....

maybe a piece of high pressure fuel line with 2hose clamps on each end would work.

Ya maybe a rubber hose. Or make some flare ends with some threaded connector. Use a brake line in between. Or see if you can find a stock setup like yours at the Junkyard.
