Swap m278 head on to m273

Would it be possible to swap a head from a m278 on to a m273 since they share the same block and bore pitch.

No, they are 2 total different engines.
The 273 is a 90 degree V, with minifold injection, where as the 278 is a 60 degree V and direct cyl. injection.
The sensor array on those heads are very different as well, and the ECU from the 273 would not know how to handle the signals.
