Default Fuel line hook up... Help...

Finishing hooking up all the components in a complete engine rebuild. I have '92 Cherokee and installed the intake and power steering pump off a 2000 mdl. My fuel rail has the two hook ups for the fuel pressure and return. The problem I'm running into is putting the pressure line on the rail. That is a tight spot between it and the pump. Do I need to try to heat the line and get some more bend or look at cutting off and using something else. I have searched many hours and have not seen anything on this issue. I think I may have missed something in the installation. I appreciate any help or advice. Thanks Again.

Maybe pull off the fuel rail, hook up the lines, and then put the rail on?

Posting a pic might help. I thought there were other problems there as well. Why the 2000 manifolds?

I went ahead and put the later model intake and power steering pump on the while I was doing the engine rebuild. I port and polished the head so I'm hoping between it and some the other changes it improves my fuel mileage.
I got the fuel lines on by removing some of the mounting bolts for the pump and tilting it over. It is still tight but not touching due to heating and a good ole wire tie. You might be able to tell by the picture.
