It's very hard to change a head gasket in any car. Unless you have quite a few years of automotive experience, you probably shouldn't try to do it yourself. I've been working on my own cars for over a decade and barely feel confident about that repair.

If you handy with tools it is not all that hard. Drain the coolant, remove the exhaust manifold, remove the intake manifold, take off the rocker cover(aka valve cover), remove the rocker arms, and the push rods. Remove the head bolts, lift the head off, take the old gasket off, clean the surface on the block and the head, put the new gasket on, and reverse these steps. Make sure you toqure everything corectlyas you reasemble.
there are some engines i wouldnt do the head gasket myself again like our 3.8 windstar that was crazy and i never did get it right but a 302 is very simple in comparison and if your mechanically inclined at all you should be able to do that repair like i said fairly simple on that engine
Never seen a 302 in a F-250.

Might have a 351-W, if so, hard to do
