Default gt40 intake and heads

alright well i have just a few questions about these.. as ive stated before i can get a setup, heads,intake, and tb for $350 which i am going to do, it is out of a 96 explorer. so my questions are

1. with the 96 explorer heads does it require different headers? i have mac equal length
2. how long should i expect on putting new heads and intake in? im pretty experience in working on engines but never have taken the intake or heads off of a 5.0
3. how much of a hp increase would i see from the heads,intake?
thanks guys

are the heads gt40 or gt40ps. Do they say gt, or do they have 3 bars, or 4 bars, or do they say gtp? If they have 3 bars then there gt40s, and you can use any headers, if they have 4 bars or are gt40p's then you need new headers.

I thought some of the later 96 explore's had the "P" heads.
