4.5 on the tall deck warhawk and the LSX. Not really sure on the short deck, but I think either 4.125 or 4.25.

World said that with the tallest deck of the Warhawk at 9.800" it can only handle 4.025" stroke... that makes no sence, and i did ask for someone else...
Any ideas???

I wonder why they said that? You can put more stroke than that in a regular deck LSx block!! some minor clearancing and your good to go. I would go with MerlinPro on this one!!!LOL

Could the LSX block withstand more abuse that the Warhawk?

I'm glad somebody asked that, it didn't even cross my mind. I was ASSuming you could do at least a 4.125 in the standard deck

ya, its iron vs aluminum. I doubt 99% of guys would push the warhawk that far though.

But how much abuse would you think the Warhawk withstand?

since they are only recommending a 4" stroke, 427 is the max recommended.

Since the LSX can be as big as 511cu, how is that still considered a smallblock?

Because it's not a big block. Refrences to small or big block do not have anything to do with cubic inches. If a motor starts life as a "small block" then no matter how many cubes you push out of it, it still remains a small block.
