I did it a month or two ago.
It took 6 - 7 hours to get the EFI manifolds off the old engine. No stuck bolts, just a LOT of parts on an EFI.
It took me 30 minutes to swap my log manifolds for the EFI manifolds on my carb 300.
It really is not a difficult job. Just a lot of parts. You have just keep removing stuff until you get to them, and yes, you have to remove the intake to even get to them. If you don't care about the engine you're removing them from, that's even better.
Now, if you're just looking to save some time, check out ebay:
eBay Motors: ford 4.9 300 exhaust manifolds truck
eBay Motors: 300 FORD 4.9 4.9L DUAL EXHAUSTS WITH STUDS

tru dual short glasspacks are nothing like using a single glasspack.
the end result will be a sound equivalent to two ricers drag racing each other, its downright horrific.

Yeah, I'd rather my truck sound like a tractor than a ricer.
Straight pipe it then.

If you don't want to use a Flowmaster, great. They make cheaper knock-offs. One guy I was talking to online tried a baffled muffler on his 300 with stock cats. It was the equal of the 40 series FM. It sounded really really sweet. Quiet, but deep.
I'm a fan of cheap glass packs but I think baffled mufflers sound better on 300's.
JMHO for what it's worth - which isn't much.
By the way, my truck sounds a lot better than it does inthe vids. It sounds a lot deeper now that I've ran the pipes behind my rear tire. =)
