Message	stock or stockish. I have been involved on project where it was done, but plenum was on. Would any of us involved ever do it that way again? No. Because it's a big PITA! And you can't be sure if you have torqued everything properly just with how tight everything is packed in. Honestly, pull the motor, do it right, clean up some other things at the same time.
