I don't think that engine is 10.6:1. This one sounds a lot higher, like 11.5-12.5 to me.

It also didn't sound as "revvy" as the Cup engines that I've been around.

A set of those Yates heads on a street oriented SBF would make for an extremely lazy engine on the street. Too much port volume and not enough cubic inches to take advantage of it down low. I think this engine would be fussy at low rpms and may even make for a miserable street car.
