I hate to say it, but Kevin was right... Pulling the intake is probably the only way to move the wiring harness. If I had realized the TGVs came off with the intake, I wouldn't have unhooked as much stuff.

The old intake is off the old block.

I realize there are not as many side feed injector options, but in a quick search, there appear to be enough to suit normal mods. In my brief research, it looks like the stock injectors can be upgraded to 816s for about $200... Señor Cheap Bastard likes those numbers.

Is there really a compelling reason to swap to the top feeds? Especially when I can just drop my whole intake onto the new block and be mostly done. (after deleting TGVs and plugging some pump holes, etc...)

What parts on the intake wear that I should swap? I was thinking about swapping throttle bodies just to have one with 90K fewer miles. Any sensors wear/fail over time?

I think I'll wait to do the new intake after the front of the garage is in the shade... Maybe watch some NASCAR for inspiration.
