CAT3,
Our Warhawk block does not use OE covers for cam retention, valley cover or rear plate. We had to design our own due to the unique oiling and casting design. We have the covers available and the parts will be priced for the web site and catalog when blocks finally come.
The 9.800" block will require spacers.
We're going to mock-up a 4.500" Callies for 481 cid, when blocks come.
Thanks for asking.

im sure with the exception of the extra bolts, the bolt PATTERN is the same... however the LENGTH of the studs could be totally diffrent.
plus they could be larger holes ment for 1/2" studs or something... theres no way to know for sure until they actually release the heads.

To Clarify The Head Stud Question Ferocity,
LT1 is correct in stating that Warhawk heads will attach to OE blocks using OE dimension studs. If that is the correct ARP number, it's fine.
When using Warhawk heads on the Warhawk Block you must use the ARP kit (custom made to our spec), specific to our block. We offer ARP kits for the 9.24 and 9.8 deck blocks with companion kits for the additional 16 studs for 6-stud per cylinder attachment. For the record, OE studs are 10mm. Warhawk-specific studs are 7/16 at their major diameters.
