New World Warhawk block soon to be released Check this out, the new and improved World block. They changed their 6 bolt head pattern to be the same as GM now too!!! This is going to be a real nice piece for the price. We have had great luck with ours in the Impala and look forward to the new block!

Be nice if they raised the cam on the tall deck version (looks like a TD in the pics - but not a raised cam). Those blocks don't get the attention they deserve. Despite some problems very early on, they were pretty decent pieces. Obviously been as fast or faster than any other 'cast' block numerous times, by numerous racers. Always liked the deck design.
Interested in seeing the FULL write up on the changes.

We never had a problem with dropping the cylinders but we have been working on aluminum blocks for a long time.
I think this block has proven itself to be the strongest cast piece available. 52psi with twin 88s, Andreas went 6.31 and we went 6.36 with one, with out spitting the main webbing out.
I will ask about the raised cam on the tall deck, that would be nice!

No issues that I am aware of, no second hand BS here the block holds 2500hp. Most aftermarket blocks need tons of prep time to make it they way the engine builder wants it. The new run of these will be really nice, and I really like the main fastener size and location.

Verdad Gallardo Major went fast too. 7.20's I believe.
It would also be nice to see them add some front face bolt hole locations on the pass side to accommodate motor plate fastening. Something similar to the LSX or RHS. I had a nice Warhawk block too for awhile.
Despite the serious weight penalty of the LSX along with core shift and deck issues (prior generations) for high HP applications, the revised Warhawk may have a place in the market. People have still bought up the LSX's despite GM's quality control issues.
The RHS blocks have a less than desireable deck design for High HP too, along with some known cracking issues in the bottom end at bigger HP levels, although they have a nice raised cam location and pretty darn nice finish quality out of the box.
The Dart LS Next is promising but not yet available in aluminum or a tall deck or with a raised cam, but I bet it is a pretty stout piece going from Dart's reputation with the Little M's, Iron Eagles, and Dart Big M's. Always had good luck with Dart's engine blocks
Lots of choices for LS engine builders in the months to come.
