Welcome! I be loving them 385 motors. You can stroke that to 557ci pretty easily :)

Looks good, the engine isn't as tight a fit as I would have thought

It wasn't bad getting it in but changing spark

Plugs can be a little fun!

I have found that taking off the valve covers helps a lot. I also use one of those spark plug sockets with the 'nut' shape on the end. That with a box end wrench makes it easier. It's not a quick job, but still easier to change than FE plugs IMO.

Thanks! I'll try that next time, but you're right it's really not all that bad!
