Wow Ralph, easy on the job bank american worker!! if you've seen the show GEARS the host Stacy David builds his own LS-7 and it's fool proof. The guys at the factory don't just let you loose in the plant to assemble what ever you want, you are taken from one station to another by a trained american engine builder who does this every day and the engine is also put on the dyno...Don't bash the few american workers who still have a job.

It is not fool proof. When you saw the show which I also watched when did you see a measuring of parts done? They don't measure any clearances, not would go to the tear down barn with this I sure won't. When a Z 06 fails it usually includes a buy back of the vehicle cause it is no longer a numbers matching vehicle.
Also the parts are not 100% inspected how will you be sure they are made to print and the stack up clearances are correct?

Pretty harsh words don't you think ? Many Ford guys are doing it - why not Chevrolet .......And by the way - I set my first record in 1973 with a factory Pontiac shortblock - thet got it right then so why not now ?
