Default can I do this to magnum fuel rails

I have fuel rails from a 5.2L magnum engine and im planning on using them in a custom efi setup. it would be easier if i could use -AN fittings.
Can i tap the ends or weld on a bung or something it would make it look better and make it easier to set up. also something tells me it would flow better and give me some better options for running the fuel lines. has anyone done this?
Thanks
Dan

I have a set of rails that the interconecting hose was damaged. So I was going to take a male AN fitting, turn down the pipe thread and drill a hole the size of the fuel nipple. Then press it on and braze or tig them. I thought it would make it a more flexible setup.

I have two sets of fuel rails - one is stock from my 318 mpfi (it has two fuel line connectors at the ends) and another off of a 360 (supposedly!?) (it has one connector in the middle of the rail) do you know what the 360 (?) rail can be used on or if its compatible with a 318 motor?

I had a 3.3 with a leaky fuel rail.. I cut the ends of the rail off ( where the flex joint and tube joined) drilled them out and taped them with a pipe tap. Then I screwed a jic fitting in and brased it in place. I had a gas compatiable line made up and attached it to the fitting and there ya go...just watch out for the metal bits in the rail...
