Still in vehicle.  I probably should have mentioned it is an automatic.  Also,
the rope trick may well be impossible.  The plugs are set deep (6-8") within
the valve cover(ala Chrysler hemi engines, or at least my Dad's 53 Dodge RAM
V8).
Not just "replacing" (as part of PREVENTIVE maintenance) timing belt, but
replacingBROKEN belt (hence where are the valves pisitioned at the moment.  I
believe it is a non-interference head, but not certain.

Yes, in gear works ok, but not too well when the engine is on the bench.

If it's in gear or park with the brakes on, wouldn't that hold the engine?
Or can some big vise grips be used? They have those wrenches with the
webbing material which can be tightened around almost anything.
