So as I was drilling out a broken screw in the fuel line connecting to the fuel rail I ended up drilling a hole into the fuel rail... so my question is any way to fix? Any interchangeable parts? Any leads to where I can find a fuel rail? Anyone selling a fuel rail?

Buy another rail. Dont try to patch it up. Otherwise you and your car will randomly go up in flames one day.

+1. And a used rail will be cheaper than getting one welded up and pressure tested.

you can pressure test it at home, its not a major. Tig weld or braze/silver solder would be an appropriate repair if a replacement is not available

costwise, that depends on whats available to you, you would use like $5 of rod and gas and maybe 30mins for either of those methods if you have the tools, if your buddy has the tools then throw in another 30mins of driving and a 6pack.
