Quote: The 273 heads will have less velocity because they have a slightly larger port volume. Not that they would be a bad choice for that reason, they would make less pumping losses. That is also a reason for me to consider the magnums, I have a set of them and the 273 heads but no 302s...
I called my buddy that owns the flow bench. He recalls the velocity was greater on the 273 head vs the swirl port. He's going to pull it up on the computer and I'll post the numbers. Also remember that with the magnums you'll need the corresponding valve train and intake in order for the heads to work. There will be a lot of port mismatch with a Magnum/273.
