The trickflow manifold is a pretty good one. Its not the easiest install but you shouldnt have any real problems. Just label what you take apart, etc. Its definetly possible to do alone but two people is definetly better than one.... no matter what your doing.

I've got the GT40, off ebay. Installed very easily. But 88BlueGT is right the trickflow intakes are great as well. The higher end intakes I would say are very similar is performance IMO. Goog Luck and by the way nice car!

You can't go wrong with the Systemax II, Trick Flow, or the latest Edelbrock RPM 2.

Just buy the h/c/i kit off summit or Jegs...... A good starting block for any 5.0.
