Default Norris Motorsports Warhawk Block and LS7X Heads Received - Project Moving Ahead

Hey All,

After waiting patiently, our first Warhawk 9.240 x 4.155 block came in along with a pair of Warhawk LS7X bare heads. Thanks goes out to the folks at World products for making this happen. We are building a package for a long time customer that we hope to debut at the 2007 Year One Experience as a co-op project between myself and Prodigy Customs.

The car is a 1968 Pro-Touring Camaro and should quite the piece when done. We are looking at a couple articles on just the engines build and dyno, then the car build as initially a naturally aspirated 44x ci package. Next we will be building a custom intercooled twin turbo package.

I tried to upload the pics, but they were to large. The photobucket links should work okay. Enjoy and thanks.

Yeah... you officially suck. Looks like extra head bolts bosses are there. good to see World takin advantage of them. The intake ports look bigger than the drain lines in my house. My toilet is jealous. With flow numbers like the LS7 makes and the ability to go bigger than 450cubes, the big-block Chevy's days are numbered.

Ya know, I expected folks to be excited and all, but this is a little different then I would have imagined I do appreciate the enthusiasm for sure guys. When I get back from family spring break vacation, things should start moving along for sure.

Thanks All.

There has been a potential slight change as the current customer may have run into financial issues. Not 100% sure, but I have been unable to contact him for a short while. Could be nothing also.

The reason I am posting as this project is being done as a high profile magazine package as well a Year One and SEMA shows for World Products. If this original car does fall through, I am looking for someone who may be interested in this package. No, it is not free, but it will be more pocket friendly then usual as well as excellent exposure. Not just any car will do as you can tell by the rendering.

If anyone is interested, please feel free to e-mail me at thevettedr@aol.com and if possible send along some photos of the car if available. I would prefer a first gen Camaro, but anything will be considered. Just remember that this is not for just an "average" build, but something that has everything to offer. Does not need to be a six figure car, but will have some standards to live up to.

If we do get a commitment and started on another project for this engine, and the original owner comes back, I will not leave you hanging as you will be done first and his second.

Thanks in advance as well as thanks for the kind words again also.

How about I donate this old beater? I need a reason to finish it.

It'll make a good dyno queen
