I managed to get a little more work done on the car today. As I was taking off the plenum I heard metal fragments rolling around inside. My question now is how to clean the inside of the plenum since it does not come apart.. I know I could blow it out with some compressed air but that's still no guarantee it would all come out. If anything is left behind it will destroy my new motor..

Wow... Jeezus... Maybe with water too? Or some liquid to carry the metal out?

Get some tape, roll it up into a long tube and shove it into the plenum. THen you can shake it or use the compressed air and blow it inside till it all sticks on the tape.
