The 302s have a better runner design. Your 67 273 heads are the typical pattern for intakes (64/65 are the only different years). Its not a big deal to plug the Air ports on the exhaust side. 1/4-20 or 1/4-28 thread, set screws and loc-tite. Valves are the same size as the 273. and yes, you can re-use your rocker/pushrod assembly.

'67 273 heads might still be closed chamber, with a similar chamber size as the 302's. some people on the board have flow tested both, and found the 273 closed chamber heads actually flow about the same or slightly better than the 302's, both OOTB and ported...I'd pull your heads and check them out before spending money on new ones that aren't really going to give you anything...

The 273 heads you have should have a 920 casting number on them and will use regular intakes and flow more than the 302 head. The 920 heads have a 57cc head and the 302 is about 62 (averages from 2 sets of each I tested). The 302 head has some chamber area that overhangs the cylinder on a 273 and that is not good for power, mpg or emmisions, that kind of an area is called crevis volume and is not good for anything.
