Default Calling all with GT40Ps and BBK headers

Ok so i bought some BBK shorties to go with my gt40Ps and im just wondering does everyone else with this combo have such a problem with the #4 plug? I knew it wouldnt be a perfect fit but the plug has no chance of going in with the header on or even backed out on the bolts, and even if its in i doubt it will clear the plug alone nevermind the boot that it also has to clear.

Im going to pick up an accel short plug, i already have 90 degree boots, and a heat sleeve because im sureit will still be touching, and see if it works just wondering if its like this for everyone or if my header is ****ed up.

Umm from what i have heard about GT40P heads you have to have special headers made for those heads, and i dont think the BBK shorties are made for them, might wanna look into another brand that are specifically made for the P head.

I just had to run a 90* plug wire to #7 cylinder, all of the other plugs and wires fit perfect.
