Yes, you can cut the plastic to make them fit like a stock injector. You'll need to use stock style o-rings if you do that. They'll plug into the Haltech's injector plugs.

you need the pump more than you need the regulator. you can hook the stock one up so it sees boost and it will work like those fancy ones, and you already have it

Yeah, I was using a stock regulator with my T-78 and 4 1600's. I had no problem getting enough fuel.

the problem with the stock reg is not getting enough fuel, it's having too much. with a big pump, the volume goes up, and the reg can not flow it back to the tank, so the pressure raises at the rails from what it should be, causing it to run richer. that is the reason adding a walbro etc will richen the car up, with a good REG, it would not get any richer.

Alot of that can be compensated for with tuning.
