I have accel header plugs in mine. With those heads and the hooker headers there is a pretty tight fit for the plugs and the boots.

Thanks Slalom4me, good info this is a higher compression engine so I was thinking of the Delco R42LTS. I was running the R45LTS with the other vortec heads on a lower compression engine. I'm hoping to finnish it this week end.
