I want to put in my 24's but I don't want to pull the upper intake just to do that, i would rather wait until I buy some heads after christmas. but is it possible to get to the bastards without pulling the upper intake?
can i get to the fuel injectors w/o pulling intake?

Not realyl, not that I've found. Sorry, looks like you need to pull the intake off,.
EDIT: Besides, its not hard ot puill the upper intake off. I cna have an inatake pulled off and replaced in an hour.

Yeah, and half that time is getting that driver's side rear bolt in. What a PITA. Make sure that stubby 3/8s speed wrench is on hand.
And yes, you gotta yank the upper.

yup, yank the upper.....It's really easy. 6 bolts, another 4 to disconnect the TB, some vacuum lines and you are set.

Why would you unbolt the TB to pull the upper intake? Just unbolt the upper intake's 6 5\16" bolts, and the 2 10mm bolts for the TB cable bracket the vacuum lines, and 1 snake clamp on the stock inlet or CAI and your'e good to go.

i could with a swivel but it takes some time, those tfs intakes have weird bolt access IMO.Pokageek said:Doesn't workee for me. I can't get the 10mm 12 point socket in there..
This isnt the proper way but on mine all i did was used an open/closed end wrench and tightened it down bout the same as the other's. No leaks no worriesPokageek said:
And no there is almost no way to replace injectors with out pulling the upper, just make shure to lube them when replacing them/ putting them back in.peacejohn

i used studs which made it easier to get to, but there was no way to get to it with a torque wrench; at least i couldn't figure any way to. someone said to to use a dizzy wrench (which sounded like a good idea), but i couldn't find one that fit the nut.Pokageek said:
like smokedya, i just tightened it down as best i could to be about the same as the others.
you might be able to the the fuel rails off with the intake still on, but it would be a real pain and the extra time it took would not be worth the extra aggravation of trying to leave the upper on.
fwiw, i would recommend getting a new gasket; mine was a plastic thing that was not in any way reusable.

what about the egr? i'd unhook it at the elbow.18mustangs said:
when putting it back together though, it might be easier to disconnect the egr anyway.
