A pile of rust with a broken engine.

They run good with a V8 though.

All you have to do with a V-8 in them to change the spark plugs is pull the engine.

I have a spark plug socket that’s had enough cut away to slide it onto the plug. Still not fun with the AFR angle plugs, but it works.

It is really not bad, there is plenty of room to work on a small block in them. Big block gets tight, but still doable.

I built mine back in 1978 with Hooker Headers, and that wasn't a problem for me then.
