That aint no **** G. I had to crawl under the car to get to that passenger side plug. It's especially hard after 6 beers.

Ive worked my way down to 30-45 mins. Taking the coil packs off makes it go a lot faster. I lay across the engine bay and just reach back there for number 8.

i concur with stang killer. But I love pain, so I leave the coil packs on so I get some pretty sweet *** scars afterwards

you guys obviously aren't doing it the easy way...
first time take off your coil pack brackets and leave only a few easy to access bolts from then on...
take off both coil pack brackets, take off the air tubes if you still have those things, you can take off the vavle cover off the passenger side...up to you, gives you a little more room...
just lay across the engine bay to reach the last one on the passenger side...
i do plugs in 30 min this way...

Same here.
I have no problem changing plugs in our '98 LS1.

Plugs take 45 mins if you're takin your time and you have long tubes. An hour and fifteen minutes if you have stock manifolds. Pull the coil packs and grab a beer. Ratcheting wrenches help on the back coil pack bolts.
