So, at the end of the day, Jerry had installed Silkroad coilovers, full Battle Version rear suspension.
Adrian did shocks/struts, control arms, subframe spacers, etc
I spent the entire day removing and installing an upper intake manifold :bbb:
Anyways, for future reference, there's no need to remove the bottom plenum, simply remove the 2 studs used to mate w/ the upper half. It will slide out. I had the bottom portion unbolted to give me some free play.

PS - Question: Is there a difference between S13/S14 water temp sensors for the cockpit gauges? I broke the metal connector tab so I grabbed a sensor and clip from my S13 motor. I have one in my spare 96 motor in case they are indeed different.
