Go to your local parts store and purchase a 'Haynes'or 'Chilton' repair book for your make and model. lets start by saying that the mark VIII came from the factory with a 4.6 DOHC engine. my personal opinion is that a 5.0 or as us old timers call them 302s would have been a better choice I am in the middle of removing the 4.6 and replacing it with a 302 bored and stroked to 349 You will need to jack up the Mark VIII to get under it. There are three 10mm bolts securing the starter to the engine. You will have to look with a flash light to find the top one but the other two are to either side of the solenoid. You will need a fair bit of patience getting the bolts out - especially the one on the top. You will need some swivels and extensions to get the sockets up to the bolts. There are also two nuts holding wires to the solenoid (10mm and 1/2"). I disconnected the battery (important!!!) and then the wires to the solenoid. I then loosened the two bolts by the solenoid before removing the top bolt. I found it helpful to have swivel sockets and someone to hold a light. Once you finish getting the bolts removed the starter should basically be sitting loose. I had to twist and turn the starter to get it out but it did come out without needing to remove anything else.
