It's not that bad if you have some socket extensions, PB Blaster and patience.

You should really search around before you ask a quesion like this because it's been covered many times.

I'd say if you've never done it before, or even if you have on other cars the cougar can be a PITA.... at least it was for me... Search & you'll finde lots of opinions, guides, and advice on the topic.

It is difficult for someone who doesn't have a decent set of tools at their disposal, along with a decent amount of experience that tells them how to attack a problem.

Hint: Don't use PB Blaster. Hope (and it's really only that) the studs and nuts come out of the head as a single piece, rather than the nut coming off the stud- Otherwise, you'll need to drop the alternator to get the B1 manifold off / header on. Sux.
