Tr55s are fine, autolites will work too - I think autolite 606 is what I used to run. I have been using tr55s for about 20k and they are nice.

You should be able to get them all out from the top with an short extention and a small rachet, but I like to get 4 and 6 from below, if I can. Wear some gloves if you can, even just some thin latex can keep those blasted heat sheilds from taking a chunk out of you.

There is so much room in there with that 3.8 liter.

A plug swap should take no time.
