im looking at a 89 5.0 but there is a problem. There is a vacuum leak that is affecting the idle. how hard is it to fix that? it also needs a new radiator. is this tough? thanks for your help.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

finding the leak would be the hard part. fixing it is just replacing a piece of rubber hose.

Get some carb cleaner and start spraying the engine bay while the engine runs. When you find the leak, the idle will jump up
