GT40P heads

I have just built a new 302 for my 94 F150 and installed a set of GT40P heads. The problem I see I'm going to have is having access to the spark plugs holes using the stock manifolds. I was wondering if a set of F150 shorty headers from ford motorsport would work? If anyone out there is using a set of GT40P heads I would like to know what type of headers you are using.
P.S I was trying to keep the stock factory exhaust system.

GT40P heads

That's the trade off from the gt-40p. They come stock on explorers so maybe a retrofit. But for now this page will tell you all you may want to know about the gt-40p. http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Pit/5755/gt40p.html

gt40 plug clearance fix

i put the gt40p's on my bronco after I converted my 88' to carburated and i got msd wires that had 90 degree heads on both ends. That and the accel shorty header platinum plugs (about 14$ a piece from advance autoparts), and i have no issues with my shorty headers i have on there.
