I wouldn't think it would take more than 2 hours, if you know what you're doing, first time I would allow for up to 4 hours, as that's what it would probably take me. You'll probably need a distibutor wrench.

If you've never done it before, give yourself an entire day. Take the time to scrape off the old gasket/RTV and get clean surfaces. You may want to clean out any gunk thats in the head intake ports. When reseating the manifold give yourself a few hours to let the RTV cure.
BTW instead of a distributor wrench, I used a crowfoot attached to a universal socket extension.
