        Welcome to the site! And if you figure out the spark plug question, please let me know! I've come to the conclusion that when it comes time to change my spark plugs, I would rather drop the entire motor out of the car, remove the headers, and then swap the spark plugs. I think that would actually take less time than trying to get the plugs out with the engine in the car.

          Tough job. I think 7 and 8 are easiest from below, the others you can get from up top, but I don't remember exactly. Might as well put some longtube headers in while you're in there anyways, welcome to the site!

              I can show you something that might help. This is what I had to make to change the plugs on my IROC with Hooker headers

              Went to Autozone and bought a cheap 5/8 short socket with a 1/2 drive. I had to narrow the snout to fit my Edelbrock aluminum heads. I ground two flats on the sides to fit a 22mm or 7/8 wrench.

                    Hey Pat, I found ya......welcome aboard.

                    Having dealt with this myself in my '94Z and '96SS, I'd just drop the LT1 in place of an LS1 . Much easier....


                    Surprised no one has asked for pics yet.....
