305 heads

Who here has pulled 305 TPI heads and found them to be the swirl port castins?

If you dont know what I'm talking about by swirl port, they have a cast ramp around the valve guide instead of the standard style valve bowl.

I haven't pulled my car's heads, but I did pull a valve cover and got the casting numbers of the head, and it's a '081' head, non-swirl.

Just want to clairify... We are not talking about a fast burn combustion chamber here.

We are talking about something you can only see if you remove an intake valve. MrF-body, did you remove an intake valve?
