Anyone know how to get to the 3 spark plugs on the firewall side of a Windstar. 3.8L motor. Put it on a lift? Got to tune it up and can't reach the plugs.

Can you get at them from underneath?
I need to change the plugs on my 5.0L exploder, and I'm not looking forward to it.

have you thought about trying to remove a motor mount to rotate the motor?

I don't know if I can reach them from underneath or not. A friend of mine has a lift in his garage/shop. I'm going to see if I can take it out there or possibly get a set of car ramps to get under it and see.
The way the motor sets I don't know if you could rotate it around enough to still reach. My fear is having to drop the cradel when it's on a lift just to get to the plugs. I'm a little unsure of myself when it comes to that kind of stuff.
