Might be why the sign says "Bowling Green Assembly" and not manufacturing.

The LS1 is built in Canada. But the old "classic" Chevy small block (the current crate engine) is cast and built in Mexico.

Must be. When I squash on the long loud pedal it sounds like it's saying On-do-lay, on-do-lay.
At least it's not Spanish Rice.

I posted this in C6 General as well. They're telling me that their Engines are built in Canada and that the Transmissions are built in Mexico.
