Awesome experience! I would do it again and hope to on my next vette.
It was worth it to me. If you are in a position to do the engine build I wouldn't pass it up.
I would combine it with the PD5 for the ultimate experience and complete book of photos for your build. Normally you will build the engine on one day and then your car will be placed in the queue for build the next day or the day after. Count on a dauy and a half to see the entire build of your car.
I built my engine on a Monday and my car started on the line Wednesday and finished Thursday.

Since they have discontinued plant tours as they retool and won't resume them until 2019, are they still offering the engine build option? I would have thought that they'd want to keep all civilians out of the plant for security reasons. When I went through last spring the engine building was going on right in the middle of the plant. Maybe you have to be led in blindfolded. Just curious. --Bob

Here is a link to an article saying engine builds will resume in January. Not sure if you have to be blindfolded.---Bob

Have done it twice and would definitely do it again. Probably the best way to understand how your engine works and a full fun day as well.
Life is short. Why not go for it?
