Hardcore is not what I'd call the best businessmen in the biz. They are just soliciting for call and emails to sell you stuff. There will be a hundred more vendors for the World block in a few months...including places like Jegs and Summit.

I'm okay with smack talk, but that's not what I'm looking to buy. I heard one or two guys say positive things about their CS, but that's about it.With this in mind, I called up Eric @ Hardcore and spoke to him about Hardcore, their envolvment here (or lack there of), their R&D efforts with FI and LSx based engines, the WP block and heads, and my project, and goals. I've been talking with someone at WP for a while now and everything Eric said was dead nuts on. Overall I was very impressed with Eric. I placed an order for a block and unless they are over priced (for other items or labor) or do something that leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I plan on having them build a long block for me which will no doubt be a few $$$.
I agree (actually I KNOW) you'll be able to buy these WP's from others VERY shortly after Hardcore gets their customer's blocks. I don't need to have the first block, but I'm willing to give Hardcore a shot based on my long conversation with Eric. I hope the price I've commited to pay for the block with Hardcore remains competitive when other companies start receiving their blocks (SDPC, Summit, W2W...), if not I would like to think Hardcore will make things right at that point.
As I'm doing now, I plan on detailing my Hardcore Racing experiences with the forum to start creating some feedback about these guys... Positive or negitive. So far I'm very happy with Hardcore, Eric anyway. If any funky stuff starts going down, you can be sure I'll post it here as well as at all the other LSx based sites I visit.
Stay tuned...

I meant the Warhawk LS7X Block by World Products. World Products has no info currently on thier site. Anyway, usually the guys here are waiting for this type of thing. Seems like no one even cares.

World just last week start acknowledging they were even releasing such a project. Myself and others started hearsay threads a while ago and WP wouldn’t even own up to anything until last week. I have been talking with someone at WP behind the scenes for a while now and I have to say I'm impressed with there LSx products from what I've gathered.
I get the impression that WP doesn't want to really start marketing their LSx products yet because they don't have anything to sell... yet. Keep in mind they don't even have functional items back from the foundry. Also keep in mind they are not sponsors here and quite frankly didn't even know about these forums (or the power of them) until very recently. Expect to see them become active here (and become sponsors) in the coming months. Their stuff won't hit the streets until late Feb. 06 at best, you'll be hearing more from them as that time gets a little closer.
BTW, although you might not think there's much interest for these products, that couldn't be further from the truth. WP never expected the response they've received. They are swamped with orders already for these items. Almost all of the big names are placing orders... and it's not for two or three blocks either. I just hope WP doesn't get greedy and up the prices since they're going to do better than they initially expected in the LSx market (you know, increased demand of a low supply item = ^$).

I have been waiting for the aluminum 6.2L block, just seems like more bang for the buck there. 416 CID with a 4 inch crank and less than a grand for the block. I'm there in January and I'll have enough money left over to put gas in the thing.
