You will probably need to get a set custom made. I think this topic has come up in the past, try doing a search on this site.

Buy the hooker flanges and have a set fabricated, the flanges are made to work with angle plugs, I was just looking at them tonight, expect to pay upwards to $200 for the flanges though.

Maybe custom headers?

Of maybe it would be cheaper to buy the Hookers and have someone get them to work with angle plugs. My guess is that there is only a problem with 2 out of the 8 cylinders. The front two are bad news, the rest should be OK.

I think there was a thread on this already. Try the "search" feature?

I don't think block huggers will help you with this situation. They'd probably make it worse.

I found it. Looks like it's not impossible.

I have pictures on my website of headers I had to modify to get them to fit. Custom is the way to go.

here is 1 pic

I have angle plug heads in my 73 Luv and have some full length headers on them. I have to look up the manufacture of them when I find it I will post it, or you could email me a little later. They fit with no modification to the header. You must also remove the torsion bars.

hooker super comp block huggers are 1 7/8 " and clear on gm fastburns. They will probably cost you power. costom big tubes would be what i suggest.
