I'm liking the heads myself. They should flow killer number for a great price. The block and heads together should make for an unbeatable combination. With the 6 bolts/cylinder, more boost or nitrous is possible. I am planning on using the heads on my motor.

LS1Like,
Our block is called the "Warhawk". Warren and Kurt Johnson, the Katech folks and many others really approved what they saw at SEMA.
Ferocity02 summed things up very nicely, for which we thank him!
A free brochure is available by calling our World sales dept. 631-981-1918, ext 107.
Thanks for your interest.
Regards,

I am just VERY interested in the heads. I would have gone with your block also except I already had one sleeved and ready to go. I am curious to see how well your heads will work on an LS6 block. Looking for BIG hp number as well. Do you need a testing vehicle for the first set of heads?!?!

I also plan on using the heads and block,Some sort of ridiculous cubic inch all motor combo,got a solid roller grind already in the works,just need to figure out which valvetrain I need to use which is why I wanted to know more info on it,Also which intakes will work on it,bc I would like to switch to DFI or the Carb LS1 Conversion but i was unsure as to what would work..

I've heard about $799 each, bare. Then around $1150 each, assembled. The assembled price would be killer assuming they use titanium intake valves and sodium exhaust valves, along with some heavy duty springs and Ti retainers. I don't know how much the block is going to be, maybe around $3800?

I'm not at work, but if I can remember it's $3999.99 for the standard deck and $4199.99 for the tall deck.

If one was to go with this block and heads with a carbed intake wat PCM would be needed to run it? a stand alone estup or a ls1/ls2 setup or would you have to go to a ls7 setup?

You don't need a PCM. You can run the coils with an MSD system.

Would the bottom two blocks be 427's with a 4" stroke? Also, are these resleeved ls2 blocks?

Katech, how much do you think the creat engine will run at roughly?

and what sizes are you looking to sell?

also will these be intake to pan engines or just long blocks?

thanks Chris.
