easy...just that you'll have some stretching to do as you'll be reaching a little bit for the rear of the v8 plugs.
removing air boxes, airbox tubes, coil plug harness, coils, then spark.

I recall needing some different length extensions and wobbles to get at some of the plugs which didn't have a lot of clearance. I think I preferred an integrated spark socket/woble/extension for most of em. Something like this:

I use one extension and one socket, no wobble. And reach all plugs fine. Doesn’t take more than 30min from start to finish including disassembly/reassembly. I’ll get the lengths for you when I’m home.

It's kind of tedious but not hard at all.
My main issue was I kept having the rubber tubes pop off the coil packs and they were 8 *****es in a ***** boat to pull then out of the plug holes in the back.

I had a Gen 3 Viper before the C63 -- THAT was a pain in the ***! Viper was Much more difficult based on my experience.
Changed my plugs last week. I used a magnetic extension pen to retrieve the plug. Makes it a LOT easier.
Also worked when installing the new plugs.

Or, more likely, strip the soft aluminum heads
