Historical Context of C3 Cylinder Head

we were we were told that robert yates had a saying that for this c3 head and it has a c3 casting on it by the way it says it right there it is a c3 yep 1997 yeah that if you could make 700 horsepower you could win races that the 700 club was the thing right well at the time if you look at the early 90s the chevrolets we were we were pushing hard to make 675. yeah and this came along robert came along with this engine and you could put it together and make 700. and matter of fact the team we were with then and tristar we did that we were running also bills and we decided to switch in the middle of the season in 92 to ford for the second michigan race and uh we were probably a 15th to 20th place team we changed cars and motors quickly in the season and finished ninth first race out yeah it was you know it was definitely a game changer and it caused the chevrolet guys to really scratch their heads because ford had something really good here is this this head is that what led to the sb2 yeah like because chevy was like work we're down now yeah basically chevrolet was at the time i guess stuck with the conventional head that they'd always already run they were rolling the head over uh went to an 18 degree valve angle but it still wasn't enough to keep up with it race wise the chevrolet was a very good car and it was a good package but as far as big tracks the power everybody was chasing the forward with horsepower something that i've read as you know about this is that with these heads because the valves were staggered and canted you could mess with the location of them without anybody noticing but on the chevy's how it was a straight line if you screwed with it somebody would be able to see that from a mile away there were but i think during that time nascar wasn't uh they didn't police things as well as they do now there was you know they it was it was definitely uh a lot of creativity going on that we didn't have to talk about that was in your podcast with larry wallace where that was talked about that's what it was yeah larry said he didn't they didn't really know how to view it because that the chevrolet it's everything's online it's obvious if you move it the ford they weren't sticking in the line so if it was this much or that much they wouldn't really know that was ingenuity and when automation came along and they could check things you know as time went on you know nascar was on their own race trying to catch up with what the teams were doing because…
