Default Engine builder plate??

I just took delivery of my new 2010 Grand Sport coupe with 6-speed manual. I'm sure most of you know that the manual GS coupe engines are equipped with the Z52 Dry Sump system and assembled by hand on the same line as the ZO6 and ZR1 engines, by a single builder, who then affixes his nameplate to the engine on completion and test. My question, I can't seem to find it, I've checked all the most logical spots, but I don't see it, does anyone know where it's located?

It is on the front of the passenger side head. Pulling off the fuel rail cover makes it easier to see.

So it's not in the same place as the Z06?

I believe it is actually on part of the intake manifold. When Callaway but the supercharger on, the plate was removed.

Actually, its' on the side of the intake manifold-passenger side. As said earlier, simply remove the rail cover.

Thanks to all for the help, I'll check it out tomorrow, not that it really matters, but I was just curious. I'd just like to know the name of the builder of my engine.
