You make it sound easy -- at least if its 3.0 DOHC its not.
Earlier Ford Taurus's ARE easy but not this one.  The bumper and
headlights have to come off.  There a million f---ing bolts and
retainers and everything overlaps.  Royal pain in the a.s.  AllData
gives 3.8 hours for this job.  You are pretty good if you can do it in
that time without having ever done it before.  There might be a car
that's its harder to pull the radiator out of but I don't know offhand
what it would be.  PT Losers are a pain but nothing like this.  If
somebody knows something about how to do it that I don't know I await
enlightment.

Plain 3.0 OHV is less involved but still requires removal of the
battery tray, special tools for "quick connect" transmission cooler
lines.
