IIRC, I looked @ both heads & the port layouts looked really simular, but obviously the chamber is smaller & shrouding the valves.
jalopy45 #4899, says he payed for all the info on the heads & dyno testing etc, did Tlowes info state that the 194 cyl head is a poor port design?

Hank, you sound more confused this time than the other times you've been told the same thing. Nobody said the 194 head couldn't be made to work, in stock form it is not a good swap, with work in the ports and unshrouding valves it will work but you can start with a better head and end with a better performing product by using a 250 or 292 head.. Cough up a few dollars and purchase a set of the dyno test results from Tlowe and see it in black and white. A direct swap of a stock 194 head onto a 250 will not gain you any power, mothballs in the gas tank are in the same catagory.
