cylinder heads

i'm building a 327 street motor and i'm going to run Dart Iron Eagles. I was wondering if I would be better off running the 180cc intake runners or the 200cc runners. also i'm running full length headers and i want to know if i will have any clearance problems with straight or angle plug heads

Street motor? Go with 180cc straight plug heads.

I wouldn't presume to know anything Stephen doesn't, but...

I'd suggest talking to the header manufacturers directly for their take on plug clearance with their headers. I had problems with Summit SBC headers for my '57 with straight plug heads, had to use Accel shorty plugs. But, nobody should know better than the guys who make them what will or will not work (except Summit, of course).
