From what I've read from different pages. It should take hour and half to replace a gaudy manifold on one side of the truck not both. That's if u have minimum of one stud breaking. And using multiple different methods of taking it out. Ie welding but to stud heating up. Drilling out and retreading and so on

Be very careful when you're messing with those spark plugs, they're also notorious for stripping out the threads in the heads.

That's more so the 5.4 3V that the plugs seperate

All I know is the machine shop broke a couple bits or tooling of some sort trying to get mine out. Hope it's easier for you if you take on that repair.
