This car has the same engine that my Mk VII had, and the same as which is in my wife's 89 F-250. Everything on this engine is easy to swap out or clean. The 302 H.O is one of the easiest engines to work on...if you have the right tools. I swapped out the harmonic balancer on my MK VII in under 3 hours, and the EGR valve in about an hour, and that included replacing a decent amount of the vacuum line...and that engine had over 240k on it before I sold it to my daughter! She's still driving it, and it still runs like a top!
It's all in how you approach the job at hand...I loved working on the Lincoln.
The truck is a bit of a chore, because it's so high off the ground. I had to use a step ladder to reach the two back plugs when I did the last tune-up.
