Since this ancient thread is getting some views based on google searches for Yates heads, I should post an update on how that motor eventually ran.

We ran it in a Fox Mustang from 2011-2013, then again in 2015. The motor ended up making an honest 2000hp with a billet 98mm turbo, putting the all steel and real glass (3050#) mustang in the mid 4s in the 1/8th.

It also held the gaskets extremely well for a small block at that power level. For an engine that was as cheap as it was, it's performance was incredible in my opinion. I sold the motor cheap, like 12k, and it went to another grudge racer down south who was also very successful with it.

These old Yates heads are no joke. It can be a bitch to track everything down, due to proprietary parts like weird lash caps and stuff, but it's definitely an affordable way to go fast.
