Question For Those Running Doug's 310 Headers

I know several folks here are big fans of the Doug's 310 headers for their fit and finish, but I had one other question.

Can you use standard length spark plugs in all 8 cylinders, or do you have to run Accel or Autolite "shorty" plugs?

I had 2 different sets of Hedman's on my last truck, and had to run shorty plugs, which seemed to foul too easy no matter the heat range, and don't want to deal with that again. I do have new wires to use, with 90 degree ceramic boots, so close is OK.

Thanks!

I have angle plug heads, and there is no clearance issues any where.
