Default Anyone planning on using the WP Warhawk block?

I've been poking around on the net and just come across the new World Products Warhawk LS7X block. It looks pretty interesting. I think it will be available sometime next month. For the price it seems like a good alternative to a resleeved block or even the C5R block, very possibly even stronger.

Here is a link I found to some of the specs: http://www.modernenginetech.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=9

Thanks for the post.
Many on LS1Tech believe this to be a Vapor block. I guess we'll see - I sure wouldn't want to be an early user.

What do you mean by "Vapor Block"? I'm not familiar with that term.

We have several on order and the last we heard they will be available before summer. We saw the product at the PRI show and given World's reputation, I see no reason to think we won't have this block soon.

Nice up until the part about GM going to a dry sump in the LS-7 because of excess bearing wear... that's complete : Dumbasses... dry sump is the superior method of oiling especially for a road race oriented car.
