    You might want to let the engine to cool down a bit first.

    A friend of mine had a 67 mustang with a 390 and I had a 69 with a 428. We would have his 12 year old sister change out a couple of the plugs in both cars.

    Reminds me of the time a group of us went to the 40th Mustang Anni in Nashville.
    The lower PS hose mount became detached and my ham fists were way too big to get at the cramped area to fix it.
    The young teen niece of one of the guys helped to get the mounting bolt started and tightened up.
    Lots of situations where “girly” hands save the day!😍

    Two answers.  If it is in a race car, they remove the engine & headers after every race, so no problem.  

    If a street car, they never run it enough to wear out the plugs,  so, again, no problem.

    Yeah....I'm a spoil sport.

    In a street car the plugs would probably foul all the time from the low RPM operation.
