Default Karl - You need this!

You're a big block kind of a guy at heart:

Certainly has that "WOW" factor. So does the price. I couldn't even afford its 17' long bicycle chain.

That's one way to solve the problem with spark plug access in a big block car - get an engine with the plugs on top!

It would be if the plugs were at the top. Look close. This is set up just like the early and late Hemi's with the plugs at the bottom of a long tube that goes through the oil galley of the head. They can be a pure pain to get in sometimes..

Fair enough - but I've got a 460 in mine that's a real knuckle duster when it comes to accessing spark plugs. The extra frame tubes in a West Coast Cobra obviously have something to do with that, but it's still no fun.

I hear what you're saying. I'm running an FE and it has issues getting spark plugs in and out also.
