Warhawk Block?
#61
![Default](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.gif)
The new Hot Rod magazine has an article on the new Warlock block in a section about the best new products of 2006. They said that the first castings were given to a select few in January. IIRC, they said that somebody was already preparing a 2,000 hp turbo motor with the block. So I guess that they are ready for production/distribution, they are just waiting to make sure there are no massive problems or potential failures.

I have three blocks on order. I'll be building two normally aspirated engines and one nitrous motors and all will have the LS7X heads. All engines will be dynoed and I'll be happy to share any data that once complete. All engines will be going into sand cars...

What main caps and bolts are they using.
I believe this block will need to be blueprinted to run,and that gets expensive.
I still like the ls2 427
Any price comparisions?

These blocks come with top quality billet C5R caps and ARP studs (included in the price, not an option). From what I understand they just need a finish hone and they are ready to run. Yes they will be a few more $ over an LS2, but not much more and for that little extra expense it looks like you'll be getting a lot for your money.

I have nothing against the power adder guys. I'm a Pro Stock fanatic deep down and love to see N/A motors do there thing at the races.

I don't see any reason why I can't get 750 HP from this block and heads combo... I could be wrong but I'm gonna find out. All my N/A motors will have ultra light weight rotating assemblies... Well, as light as I can make them while still supporting the HP numbers. You need a quick revving engine for a dune car so that's what I'm going to build. All nitrous motors will be 1000 plus HP...
Stay tuned

Chris.
But still, a turbo'ed LS1/2/6/7 will kill an F1 engine in the power department. Utterly KILL it.

to put that into english, na motors are great in light rwd cars that go around corners! most race drive prefer the dilivery of N/A so thats screewed the other statement about dilivery! unless you have 4DW or your drag racing turbos can be a b!tch! they kick in unprodictably mid corner and are harder to judge part throttle.
thsi does not mean that i still dont love them!!!! lol

yeah you can make more power with nearly twice the didplacment and FI i never said you couldn't! (see above disscription of original statemnt)
and for a 2005 spec engine you would be looking at wel over $80K! you would be spending that on a couple of rebuilds! lol
anyway back to topic. these things are ace and can't wait to see what power people can get out of these things!

The current Hot Rod Magazine (April '06 pg 88) has a great write up!
For $5500 you will get a base engine that has more potential then the C5R for less then 40% of the cost!!! Made of 357-T6 aircraft alloy, available in stock deck height of 9.240 inches or 9.800 inch, which will make a true 454ci small block, w/ 4.125 inch bore & 4.25 inch stroke crank! WOW!
If you are into building big HP, this will be a MUST! And it is built much better then the C5R block (that's over $7K)! World Products KNOW what the heck they are doing too! Granatelli is building a twin turbo monster with over 2300 hp! The block has provisions for 6 bolts per cylinder....look out fastest LS1/2 honors!
WOW, 1000hp+ for under $7K! (Fully machined block $4000, assembled heads $1100, + $1800 misc parts = $6900!!!)
I may have to find an old car to stuff this monster into.....
