Katherine Walker built our 2015 Z06/Z07 engine, and it, so far, has been flawless. We got to meet, talk and take photos with her during our “Buyers Tour”. Great lady!

Richard also built mine in late July, 2017 as a 2018. So far it still has a great heart!

Almost made it through every single post without seeing my builder but finally popped up in post #125!

Shannon Bowles

Maybe a noobie?? No concern with the level of training and attention to detail there but surprised!

I am thinking of getting the build my engine when I order mine in a few months. Know it's probably a great experience but not sure I want to spend $5,000
