Well my new engine has a head gasket leak so I get the privelege of fixing it over my spring break next week. I was wondering if I could somehow take a short cut and not unbolt the plenum from the runners when I disassemble/reassemble it? Is there a way I can just remove the lower runner bolts from the intake and slide the whole unit up? I'm thinking no otherwise this would be how people put it on in the first place, buy hey you never know right?

 

That would probably work if it wasnt for the fuel rails.

 

darn tootin!
I kinda tried this too, fuel rails are the prob.
