Interesting! Hard to tell from the pic, but what way are they angled..towards the front of the engine? You dont have any issues with the boots getting too hot or anything? Are those hooker brand headers?
The fenderwell headers are hookers. The spark plug boots have a lot of room., those are 2 inch primary also
1,2,5,6 angle back
3,4,7,8 angle forward. Very slight angles by the way

ok, now how bad is it to change the plugs with them being angled and the fenderwell headers? I kno my current ones arent exactly easy to change..is it any worse with the angle ?
Well on the Dyno it's real easy. I don't know for sure but like I said the plug angle is very slight.

Oh ok, i was thinking it was in your car.. so i may just order these trick flows. I am assuming they will accept the factory rockers and shafts? Will probably be using my current hydraulic non-roller cam for the time being..
Also, i see this on the ad:
Notes:
Longer than stock pushrods may be required. Minimum bore size is 4.320 in.
So what pushrods would i need? Sorry, im used to the factory stuff so not sure.
You'll have to figure out the length with a adjustable pushrod length checker tool.
I don't know of anyone using factory rockers in those heads but I believe you can.
I run the harland sharp tf rockers.
If you wanted a more factory style, using factory stuff...the 440 source heads would be a good investment.

Let the boy go !
I used Steath out of the box with the exception of different springs,retainers, and locks for my cam. It's been 10 years now but I don't drive it a lot.
