I dunno, Reuter's Camaro looks easy as hell to get to the plugs in. Of course, he has Longtubes with no emissions hookups and no AC to get in the way either.

service on my 300tt was a nightmare the only thing you didnt have to pull the engine for was for plugs and changing the oil.

HEMI>LS1>LT1
HEMIspherical heads are always easier to change plugs on then wedged shaped heads.

You have a pent roof head, not a hemi. The last of the real Hemi's was phased out in the mid-'70's.

Whats the difference? All I know is that my spark plugs are in the center of the combustion chamber.

I didnt mean the brand hemi. I meant hemispherical meaning a perfect portion of a dome, which i know my car has and honda's have along with many other great engines.

Say NO to wedged shape combustion chambers.

I dont know whats more hideous, the SLR, or the SLR's wheels

And an LT1 w/headers is far easier than stock manifolds

Yeah, but its not even a hemispherical design. The combustion chamber is similar to a hemi, but it is not a hemi head. It's called a Pent-roof combustion chamber. To have a completely hemispherical combustion chamber with 4 valves would be way too expensive for practicality on a production car.

And GM seems to be doing just fine with a wedge design and pushrods.
