Me and a buddy were talkin today...
Where are the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0s built? are they hand built? i know the bolts have to be tighted... but ive never heard about this.
I know the LS7 get the special treatment from specialized engine builders.

Just curious..

 

Romulus, Michigan
-4.8, 5.3, 6.0 (LQ4) & 6.0 (LQ9)
-'97-'99 5.7 LS1

St. Catherines, Ontario
-5.7 LS1 & LS6 ('99+)

Silao, Mexico
-5.3 (built in a 2:1 ratio to all other Gen-III V-8's)

 

wow thats cool... are the built in the same plants as the trucks themselves?

 

They Silverado/Sierras are built in...

Oshawa, Ontario, Canada
Flint, Michigan
Fort Wayne, Indiana
Pontiac, Michigan
Silao, Mexico
Toluca, Mexico

 

i wish they were hand build they probaly would not have that nice piston slap

 

hmmm, didn't know they built that many in mexico.

 

Yeah, it's pretty funny. People dog on the new Tundra's for being "rice" but they're built right here in Texas.

And their Chevy Silverado was probably built in Canada and their motor built in Mexico

 

GM has been building their engines in Mexico for a lonnng time...I remember swapping a 350 Target motor around 1989, and the crate was marked "Hecho En Mexico"

 

Heart beat of America!

 

Mexico and Canada are BOTH in America...
