Default Warhawk LS7X Supercharged

Does anyone have a SC 427 C5 Corvette, using World Products Warhawk LS7X (standard deck)?

If so please provide details, the good, the bad, the ugly.

I think EPP is working on a build right now. Other than that, I dont think anyone else has done it yet. EPP just got their block a few days ago, so I would assume their project is still a ways out.

Yepper, this is second block we have gotten from world, first tall deck i have seen. Looks very nice and we received in in about 4 days from world.

We are waiting on the cylinder heads from West Coast Cylinder Head (Great guys over there). We chose to go with the Allpro Lsw head with WCCH port job and custom valve springs for a monster cam.

We will defiantly keep everyone up to date on how this thing turns out, we chose to do this block vs the Dart Billet due to cost vs practicality.

Does the DART billet block also come with 6 head bolts per cylinder. Also do either block come with bosses for piston oiling? Thanks. Will be watching the worlds blocks perform over the next few months.

The Dart block can do ANYTHING, they have a base program and you can add deck height, locate the cam, water jackets or not.

Its really neat a company stepped up to do a billet block, however for most people this is out of reach financially, but for the individuals that can afford it, you will have one of the best blocks out there.

Not true.....

Dave Underwood's Dart block dropped 2 sleeves, ruined a set of heads and continues to leak water into the crank case from the odd water jackets block off plates.

It's cost Dave a small fortune to R&D the block only to never have it work properly

Probably pretty close, but I like the way the World Products Warhawk did the two extra bolt holes per cylinder better than GM did on the LSX block. Bob
