Default Tonawanda Powertrain Plant On a Roll with C7



As of the close of November, GM sold more than 31,000 Corvettes last year, and all the engines for those cars were built at the New York Tonawanda plant.

Not sure, but from numerous videos and information that I have seen, the LT4 is being built at the Bowling Green plant. Does anyone have more information on that?

I assume you mean the engine in the Z51, since all Corvettes are built in Bowling Green. The facts are that all LT1's are built at Tonawanda. LT4 (the engine in the Z06) production is being done both at Tonawanda and at the performance engine build center at Bowling Green. It has been said that those with the Z07 option are being built at Bowling Green (and, of course, those that opt for the engine build experience).

The new engines have kept a lot of people employed. Hard to beat that good news.
