Intake help

Hey guys, my buddy has a 99 GT. First off excuse my lack of knowledge on the 4.6, i have only worked on my 5.0 Little did either of us know the intake had a recall, his cracked lastnight. Long story short, his recall time was up April 16th Ford will not do anything, which i have to say is very unprofessional considering it has not been 1 month and he never recieved any notification of the recall. We are going to put his new intake on, is it as easy as the 5.0's to install? I saw replacements were $189 out of summit and jegs, is there anywhere cheaper? Thank you for all your help, Nick
