Well ordered the warhawk a week ago. Was going to have someone build most of the engine. But now just Going to be doing a lot of it my self. Just having most of the short block work done by a good shop. (Dam recesion)
What to look for when working with this block and then when installing it in car?

Suggest you read the various threads detailing buildups on that block. It would appear some need significant machine work from the factory before they can be used.
Also - nice handle. Mine sits on the tender way too much.

Anyone find any more post or know anything about this block let me know.
yea the 954 has forged higher compression piston and bigger cams in it. Below 30 mph its a bear to ride. Trying to get the GTO to pull like this thing. Mine is tendering to for now. Sad to say but it has taken a back seat to the car for now too.
