Sorry Workman22 I have never seen the engine compartment on a van with V10. So my admitedly smart *** answer is:
Pay a trusted, competent, mechanic and watch with a beer in your hand.
Actualy there are a few folks in here that had spark plugs blow in a van so they will be alog to give you a more appropriate answer.
I am just being a Saturday morning wise guy. Good luck and I do have this advice:
Do this job when you are well rested, in a good humor, and take your time. My Truck V10s are far enough back in the engine bay that you would think they were in a van and this is a royal PITA job on them.

No short cuts. Get the air filter out of your way. A few plugs from under the hood the others from inside. Some on the left may be easyer with you on the right reaching over. Locking extentions help. Go easy with the air ratchet, lot of things to crunch your fingers. You'll have the plugs out in less than 2 hours but it will take an hour to put all the other stuff back.
Not as bad as replacing a turbo in a E350 w7.3L. That job sucked a@&!

Workman I find that one thing that makes the job way easier is to remove the front seats. It only takes 5 minutes and then it's so much easier to get at everything.
In the 97-03 F150 forum is instructions for replacing the plugs on one of them. It's pretty much the same.
