I think they get like 4 hours for it, way too much, it takes about 1 hour after you've done a few. They are very easy. Call them and they will tell you exactly how much. As for the part call the dealer, I'm sure they have plenty in stock.
Replacement intakes for 4.6s aren't dealer only anymore. My local Federated affiliate has them in stock. I THINK about $200. Check your local "real" parts store like NAPA, Federated, Car Quest, etc. Chains like AutoZone, Murrays, etc. don't have them yet AFAIK.

Car Quest is a REAL parts store?!!!!!?
Like the Car Quest labeled TFI my kid had to have put on because he was out of town that failed a month later?
Go figger!
I just did one in my 96 T-Bird. Never did it before and it's a bit of a pain in the butt. It is very doable for the novice though. I bought one online for $289. Make sure you buy one with and aluminum coolant crossover in front. Also, if it blew coolant all over the top of the engine, make SURE you pull the plug wires out and get down in there with something to dry the plug holes out and the wires. Will save you a lot of grief cuz it won't run right. If you want to know where I bought it, let me know and I'll look it up.
Wel, .....yea. As opposed to AZ, Murrays, etc. They're sure not NAPA though. That Car Quest labelled module was likely made by Wells (worst), or Filco (2 notches up).
