Default BBK's on GT40P's

Was wondering if BBK long tube headers would give me an issue on my gt-40p's with the spark plug angle. On late model restoration they act like ford racing shorty's is the only thing that can be used, but i hope that is not correct. Anyone ever find issues with using anything other than the ford racing shorty's?

bbk unequal shorties work, but you need a 90° plug boot on number 7

Very good deal guys, thanks for clearing that up for me. I figured since im getting them and his whole exhaust for free i might as well use it, and it will no doubt it will flow a LITTLE better. So glad he is getting rid of most of his 302 parts, and almost all of the parts i helped him install last fall.
