Hopefully, my existing headers will work these angled plug heads.

My current headers are 1 5/8” cheap Summit pieces. I’ve started looking around for a set of budget full length headers that work with angle plugs, but a lot of times it’s not specified in the listing.

Does anyone know of a set that definitely work with angle plugs?

Is it just angled plugs you are concerned about or do those heads have raised exhaust ports as well?

My hooker 2466 were for stock height ports but we modified them to work with the raised port heads by elongating the mounting holes. They are "okay" with my angled plugs but you really have to be careful with gasket selection to make sure they seal up.

Lance- they’re not raised port heads. My current headers just lack the room on about 4 of the cylinders. I’ll be cooking boots constantly and may not even be able to get a spark plug boot on 1 plug. I may just bring out the BFH and massage them. I’m just not sure if I can gain enough clearance before trashing the headers.
