I believe the LS7's are constructed in Bowling Green, KY.

I'm curious as to what this set the OP back or the dealership. I know prior pricing was pretty high.

That was funny. I choose to still be polite when telling someone they're wrong.

^ that re-location isn't complete yet, I believe. But it is in-process...
All of the C6-series LS7s were built at the PBC in Wixom, MI.

I'm curious - how much does a new LS7 engine cost?

I thought ALL 427 Z06 engines were hand-assembled, but I guess replacement crate engines aren't so they don't have the name plates?

Are we missing something?
My 09 threw a valve too, ordered a ls7 crate engine and it had the build center plate and the name of the guy who built it, Gary Andrews built it

Default Name plate?

Crate engines that are built as long blocks do not receive name plates. They are shipped without manifolds so they do not have the normal place to attach name plates.
However if you receive a complete replacement engine (with manifolds, balancer, etc.) Then you will get a name plate. Not sure how it is determined which you will receive....
