Default changing plugs on 27 with twins

what is the trick to get to the outboard plugs with twin big blocks?
I've been hanging upside down in the bilge for hours.
I think a 2" ratchet extension may be the trick but I can't get the socket on the extension with 2 fingers.

'91 daytona 27

Thanks for any tips

I remember vividly. I layed stomach down on the top of the motor and reached around the exhaust manifolds. I used a universal joint on the ratchet. I have long arms and did it by feel and with a mirror. It took several weeks for the bruises to go away.
