Default Build an LS2 in Three Minutes

http://jalopnik.com/389456/how-to-as...-three-minutes

Have you ever wondered how GM's LS2 V8 fits together? If so, today is your lucky day because this video goes through the process in a quick, orderly and computer generated environment. While it's not quite as cool as watching the engine building races on Hot Rod TV, it doesn't require the tolerance of deep a southern drawls and arduous product placement commentary. This only makes us wonder if there's one of these animations explaining how to build the rest of the Corvette.

I have that as my screen saver. You can download it from GM's website (sorry I don't have the link).

Wow! Thanks for the link McCready. I didn't even have to tolerate a 'valley-girly-man' accent.

That is not a LS2. Look carefully at the heads! Good video none the less.
