318 cylinder head upgrade

People are saying that basing the decision on that one point is weak, thats all.
There are plenty of better flowing closed chamber heads to choose from to be pushing 302 castings so hard.
His point is factual, yet common knowledge..but airflow will trump that in the end...so no one is cheering him on. It's like many other arguements on here...unnecessary and overly focused on merely a benifical feature that doesn't float to boat on its own.


But To each his own.

And where do I find all these 318 small port closed chamber heads? Are you hoarding a huge stash of 273 heads in your chicken coop? 302 heads are fairly easy to come by and offer advantages. I have owned no less than 12 cars with 318's and the 2 I have have now using 302 heads run the best overall and on 87 octane (real daily drivers) WTF do you drive everyday? or can you even move your 400lb *** off the couch? I would like to try Magnum heads on 318's but more $$ to set up may as well just start with a 5.2 or 5.9 then.
