All you need is to bolt from the accessories and put the chain from the back of the head to the opposite head in the front on an engine jack. Zap the bolts on the old mounts jack it up change them and sit her back down

Or you could unbolt it from the k member, they slowly jack up the motor with a 2x4 between jack and pan. But be careful and watch the oil pan so you dont dent it.

Hook a chain up to the factory lift brackets, use a cherry picker to raise the engine up. You'll have to unbolt your fan so it doesn't hit your fan shroud.

Ill say unbolt one motor mount frm the kmember jack up one side of ur motor then replace one at a time do the same to the other side to.an yes take ur fan off an also ur map sensor it seems to be in the way sometimes.

ps- ENGLISH DOES MATTER. How foolish of CAFords, we wrote this on our registration page http://oi49.tinypic.com/2akjm7k.jpg but now realize it's useless because the intended audience CAN'T READ, TYPE OR UNDERSTAND ENGLISH!
