vortec header question

hey guys i have an lb9 car with Flowtech 31102FLT headers (saw no power increase by the way) i have come into a set of vortec heads and plan to have a 350 built to with them and use the TIPS big mouth system my question is will my headers still work with the vortec heads or do i have to replace them?
i know i should replace them with somthing bigger but i need to know if

Re: vortec header question

Your TPIS intake will not work with Vortec heads. You need the Vortec TPI intake from Scoggin Dickey.

Yes your headers will fit fine.

The headers will bolt up, but spark plug/boot access and clearance could be a problem.
