Video- 60k Yates engine. Awesome sounding.
I have great speakers on my computer and this Cobra with a 60k (:eek:)Yates engine sounds awesome !
It really turns my crank anyway. :3DSMILE: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Shelb...rkparms=72:727 |
There is something about the compression and the cams that makes Cup Engines sound soooo good.
|
That's a nice sounding Cobra. But I like the sound of this video. Its an oldie but a goodie. Hans Stuck at the 'Ring.

Rick- I don't think NASCAR will allow the high compression. Thinks it's 9.1, but I 'me by wrong ? :confused:
I would appreciate it, if anyone knows more of the parts and specs. on this engine. Even the muffler sounds different. I like the crackle & pop sound. Let's all discuss this engine, to find our what it is, parts, specs and parameters. To see if,.... we can bring the $$$ way down. Maybe Keith Craft can give a better assessment about this engine and price? Thanks, |

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. |
Cup Ford engines are Cleveland based blocks (at least they were two years ago).
|
What they had in common with Cleveland blocks is the 9.200" deck height and the main bearing size. Otherwise, they're kind of a hodge-podge, with a Windsor block style, Cleveland deck height and mains, and a 4.125-ish bore.
|
I still like the sound of a big block.

I know this doesn't come close to the racing Cobra but, here's a little sound bite from my FE. I plan on filming some more next spring.
