3.5 hours to change plugs. very tight to get to all of them Roy
with the triton V8 you have to be very careful taking them out/installing them. that would be for a master mechanic. Literally. After they changed the blocks to aluminum they had serious issues with popping sparks and stripping sparks. if anything bring a Spark kit for your triton incase one or the other happens, Keep it in your truck like your spare tire under the back
I've heard a few different ways from needing a special tool which is an $800.00 tool, then I've also heard that the engine has to be moved forward 1.5 inches. 3.5 hrs is what every shop has been telling me as well and the price I got for spark plug was $25.00/set the magic number is round $300.00. the other thing with the sparks plugs is that they tend or already rusted and when you try to pull them out they snap, my 97 eddie bauer is going on 224k's i'm really not liking the "triton" block,
