i thinkthe only reason why they have more lift is because they use 1.7 rockers stock vs. 1.6. i might be wrong though.

ok i just happen to know the specs.

85-95 5.0 HO 210/210 .444 .444 with 1.6 Rockers
93-95 Cobra 209/209 .486 .486 with 1.7

the cobra with 1.6 rockers would have a tad more lift than the old 5.0 cam, and one stinking less dagree of duration.
I could be a little bit off on the cobra lift specs but not by much

Do they have more lift or did Ford just put 1.7 rockers to make more lift? I know that they have a different duration, but I wasn't sure about the lift being that they used 1.7 rockers which increase the lift by .30.
ORIGINAL: Ninety5five0

Yea, they have more lift.

The cobra cam has more lift than the normal 5.0 HO cam before the addition of the 1.7s
