Do they have raised ports or angled plugs?

I believe they should work. I've used Hooker pn 2134 headers with stock 424 heads, GM cast iron angle plug heads (492), and AFR 210 heads (pn 1050), which has raised exhaust ports. The spark plugs clear fine, although with the AFR 1050s, I had to dimple the #8 tube a bit to clear the #6 plug (not a "shorty" plug).
