Trustees: Turns out that I need to pull the newly installed 2.0 and get it back to the builder. A poor oil pump install has it pumping oil in the wrong direction. Since the BB still has FI, it has hundreds of vacuum lines, fuel line, and electrical connections I really would like to avoid disturbing.

My question of the day is: is it reasonable to assume that I can remove the intake runners, and the plenum, with the injectors and injector boots still attached, as a unit
?
The new injector boots from JB were an absolute B to install without ripping them. This was with the engine on the cart!

As it ended up, I needed to install them AFTER the engine was in place due to clearance issues lifting the engine into the bay.

I would like to avoid that exercise.
To drop the engine I removed the fuel lines from the injectors. That left plenty of clearance.

Ideally, I would like to remove the intake runners with the plenum and injectors in place, and reinstall with only new intake gaskets.
Am I dreaming? Or is this possible?
Cheers!
Robbo

It all comes apart super easy. Just get some painters tape and a sharpie mark the wires and vacuum lines. It feels like a lot of hoses at first but really there are not that many and they all do important things so it's not like an 80s smogger or something.
