Need advice FAST!

I'm about to buy a set of corvette heads, but I'm not sure that they'll work with my Edelbrock TES headers. I've been told that the spark plugs will NOT clear the headers. This would be a major problem, in fact if it's true then I won't buy them. But the sale ends tomorrow so I need to know fast. Is anyone using this setup or know for sure whether or not it will work?

I have the vette D-shape heads and TES and have no problem with the spark plugs.

Maybe it depends on what year the heads are from??? Anyone else?

The heads are supposed to be off a 90 vette. So they should have casting number 10088113. But the guy selling them tells me the heads are part number 101850086. I guess part numbers are different from casting numbers... ???
