"....would I be safe in assuming it would be easy to install the "right" 5.0?."

Well - define EASY. LOL In my experience, every swap requires a good bit of head scratching and work if you're truly interested in finding an elegant solution, as opposed to just cobbling something together.

Motor mounts/tranny mount should work on another 5.0L with no or little modification. The rad being used should hook up (inlet/outlet in same location). Working out the efi on the Fox body or Explorer/Mountaineer motor will require some work - you'll want engine/harness/ecu from the donor vehicle.

Were it me and you decide to ditch the Lincoln lump -- I'd go Chevy 4.8/5.3/6.0/6.2 LS variety. Too plentiful and too inexpensive to go any other way.
