The engine block heater on a 2008 Lincoln MKX is located on the
engine block, near the thermostat housing. However, it's not always easily visible without some searching. It's usually a cylindrical or slightly conical shaped heating element with a cord that runs to an external outlet. You might need a flashlight and possibly to feel around carefully to locate it. The cord will be a key indicator.
Because its location is somewhat hidden and varies slightly depending on engine specifics, consulting your owner's manual is highly recommended. The manual should have a diagram showing the exact location. If you don't have the manual, you can often find a digital version online via the Lincoln website or a reputable automotive repair manual provider.
