This task would be a lot easier if I had heads with deeper combustion chambers.

Just to keep things clear here, you don't necessarily need the .125" spacers, you can make them any length to get the job done!
The .125" spacers happen to fit the Offy heads we generally work on here!
Thanks, Gary in N.Y.
P.S. Here's an example, if you start with the .750" plug and make the spacers .250" you now have a .500" reach plug. You also need to consider the plug washer thickness, .025" (nominally).
