Hey all! Don Henley here. I worked at Wixom PBC for about 6 years. Built many LS engines as well as doing engine balance and cold testing. And a few other things too.
Like most of the builders, I previously worked in a GM Engineering facility, and before that in a production plant. Oldsmobile in Lansing was where I started.
When it became apparent that PBC would be moving to the Corvette plant in Bowling Green, I transferred to GM Milford Proving Ground and finished my GM career there. That was a great gig too, working on and driving show cars.
I was fortunate for the great opportunities I had with GM. We had a great build team at Wixom, some very conscientious guys & gals. And it was fun to meet many of our customers that came in to do their engine builds, as well as those visiting our open houses. And having the opportunity to go to SEMA and Barrett Jackson was...AWESOME!
