put on the E-brake and shift the car to neutral.
Disconnect the two front wishbone engine supports, now you can rock the engine forward about 4+ inches.
edit to add: I mean dog-bone, not wishbone. And emphasizing that the engine rocks much further forward if the car is in neutral.

either that or put a jack under the trans pan, remove the upper engine mounts, then jack up the trans to roll the engine forward

I don't think it's that hard to get to that you would have to do all that extra work to replace the spark plugs....

Yes, removal of the dogbones is standard proceedure on most GM front drive V6 engines when changing plugs. Good Luck.
