Default Side Pipes w/ Angle Plug Heads

Hi guys,
I bought and installed a set of stainless steel headers/side pipes from Josh Powers of Custom Image Corvettes on my stock 350hp 350 small block about a year ago. Very happy with them but my question is I am building a small block 427 and will be using angle plug Dart heads. Was just wondering if any one has used these on angle plug heads and how is the clearance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

The Hookers will work with AFR angle plug heads, I don't know about the fit with the pipes from Josh. # 6 plug requires making a wrench that will fit it. I cut down a 3/4 socket and welded it to a box end wrench and it works perfect.

Are you saying that Josh Powers of Custom Image Corvettes doesn't have the answer?

Thanks Phil, I appreciate the response. I am planning on using the Dart Pro 1, 230cc 23 degree heads. Unfortunately I deleted Josh's phone # a while back, so I can't call and ask. I'm fairly sure he said that they were designed to work with most angle plug heads, but was hoping to find someone who has used them to make sure. Maybe someone else will chime in and let me know.
Thanks,
Rob

Are you going to use the stock height block for your 427 build ?
Or are you using one of those Iron Eagle raised deck height blocks ?

I am using a Dart Sportsman block w/350 mains which is a stock height block.
