As Sarge said,
headers are the place to pay attention. Before you buy any head (straight,
angle, raised port), make sure you have a header that will work with the heads
AND your car! I have been running into this issue with my angle plug,
raised port heads for my Corvette. So far I have found a grand total of
ONE manufacturer (Sanderson) who says their headers will fit my
situation.
Want to see what
happens when you have the wrong combo?
You can see from
the pictures that if the center tubes were routed to the outside instead of the
inside (swap the way they go into the collector), then I would not have had a
problem at all.

Subject: [Chevelle-list] Angle plugs or straight plugsSo, what are the advantages or disadvantages and/or reasons for using angled plugs or straight plugs in a small block head? Do they work better with headers? Better spark angle for better ignition? Just looking at the options on aftermarket heads and was wondering which is better for what applications.
