Default Heads on a 300 hp 63

Did the 63 300hp 327 have the "double hump" heads?

The only engine that didn't get the double hump head was the 327/250, which was saddled with the older, small valve PowerPak style of head.

I realize this is about 1963 engines but there was one 250 hp that got the double humps. The '65 engine.

Default PowerPak difference's?

Not trying to hijack thread, but- Other than the size of the valves, what makes the Double hump's different?

Default hi perf

The 327/300 engine was considered, high performance' while the solid lifter versions were, 'special hi perf'. All the old parts manuals differentiated the engines as such.
