Depends on the motor, if its an SPI it is more involved than a Zetec. If its a Zetec Motor - its pretty easy. It depends on your level of expertise. With the Zetec you have to move a few things and just lifting the motor on that side would help but it can be done without doing all that.

Get a few estimates from independent garages if you do not feel that you do not want to do it yourself. The Ford dealer will bend you over.
