they shouldn't be a problem, although I'd run a 3924 in your application.
the 3923's don't foul up in my truck, but I tend to dog on it fairly
regularly. either way the plugs are cheap, wouldn't hurt to try the 3923's
and change them often

w/ the wires and coil I gap mine at .045"... you may want to start at .040"
