Changing Spark plugs with Vortec Heads

For those that have had experience changing spark plugs with Vortec heads, how hard it to replace all 8?

Not any harder than with any other head really. Header type, plug length and tool selection will be the biggest things that make it easy/hard.

Actually, the raised exaust ports on the Vortecs make it a little easier!

Since when do Vortec heads have raised exhaust ports? I was only aware of their raised intakes, and I have a set laying on my garage floor. Hmm....

Oops, I may have been thinking of the Edelbrock E-tecs...
