Default Another head question

OK, read a post the other day-someone was questioning the l98 heads,
one of the guys answering said 194s on the intakes-I remember all the
crazy designs chevy came out with-the pyramid, double pyramids and the camel humps-for those who don't know it was a design cast with the head in the front which designated what heads they were. Now, here's my question, when I built my 64-327 years ago I bought what chevy called "strickly off the road" heads. The intakes were 2.02s, can't remember the exhaust, straight ports, swirl polished valves, and
angled plugs-very trick. First, I thought chevy went on to using 202s?
I must be wrong? Keep in mind these were cast iron heads, can't remember the ccs either-but seems to me they'd work better than the aluminum heads even with the weight savings-am I wrong, does anyone remember these heads???

Sounds like the old "turbo" head. 492? 292/ casting #.
The iron Vortec head outflows it fwiw, not to say the older heads are bad, just a fwiw thing.
