Knowing about the Warhawk Aluminum, and heads
Knowing about the Warhawk Aluminum, and heads I am looking into the Warhawk Aluminum by Worldcastings "Warhawk LS7X Aluminum Prepped Block Deck 9.800" Bore 4.125" Mains 2.559" Billet Steel Cross Bolted " and the Warhawk LS7X Aluminum. I was wondering if anybody knows if this will bolt into a 2000 T/A w/ the LS1? Anybody own this block and head, Reviews?

Also, there is currently only 1 Warhawk block thats around and running as far as I know.
ETP just built one, with their canted valve heads.
You may want to do a little research, and browse through a couple old posts using the search feature. This is a very new product, with lots of potential.
It also costs big $$$.

What will it take $$$-wise to have custom headers built?

Say you figure apon the 1 7/8" stepped to 2" design. Now they have to be custom fitted for the tall deck Warhawk setup. I'd say you're looking at a little under $2K. You'd have to call them for sure.
They are one of, if not the best out there. But we don't call them KROOKS here on the east coast for no reason
The other option, would be to have a talented local shop do a set for you. That wouldn't be my choice. But it all depends upon where you live, and what kind of experience the guys in your area have.

Heads bare are $7XX a PIECE I'm pretty sure. Assembled, somewhere in the area of $13XX a piece.

We know 1 3/4 are the way to go for stock cube motors. 1 7/8 are the way to go for big H/C cars. 1 7/8" stepped to 2" can be used there as well, but that's the way to go for big cube motors. Problem being you'd need a K member to use them. And possibly a little clearing here or there...basically wherever it's needed.

Yeah I was kinda confused by that post too. Whatever heads they are, they're cathedral port heads.

The tall deck will also have intake fitment issues as well. When you increase the height of the deck, it moves the intake bolt holes farther aparts. I'm sure some sort of adapter will come into play for this.

World is supposedly coming out with their own intake, to fit their LS7X heads.
