                Except(engCtx.Tasks.Select(tsk => tsk.MPDReference).AsQueryable())).ToList());

        }

Answer 1

You can import the stored procedure into your LINQ model, and then simply call the stored procedure.

You will have the benefits of LINQ, without rewriting everyting.

Answer 2

You don't need to do it like that. Corresponding code in sql would look like this:

select * from Task t
join dbo.ENG_CUSTOMERTALLY ect on ect.ENG_CUSTOMERTALLY_CUSTOMERTASKNUMBER = t.MPDReference 

So you need to join those busters in your linq query.
