Since they make headers for the LT1 and LT1s have angled plugs, I am going to say yes? (I'm guessing we're talking LT1, here)

Just to keep as much info out there and clear. Aluminum LT1 heads are angle plug, the iron heads used on the b-body and Fleetwood are straight plug.

I just added it in case a b-body guy came here or in case an f-body guy had used a b-body motor as a repair.

It was meant as supplemental info not as a correction.

Thanks guys. Sorry about the lack of info.

I am putting a Gen 1 427ci small block in my 95 camaro and were using angled plug heads. so i just needed to know if the kooks headers would clear them.
