Obviously I would just look at mine, but I that would involve taking the heads off and it not worth the effort to answer the question. Anyway, who has taken these heads of an engine and actually seen whether or not they have swirl ports?

I don't think they do. The LO5 (350 TBI) did and it was limited to 210 HP for it. You have 245 I think.

OK, so it seems to be that only the TBI heads are swirl ports. That's good news.

The regular 350 centerbolt TPI iron heads are 083s. The regular 305 TPI head is the 081. Neither is swirl port.

The 191 & 193 are 350 swirl ports.
187 are the 305 swirl ports.
