Who built your LS7 ?

Not many of the new Z06 owners have mentioned popping off the red cover on the right side to check the plate and see who built your engine. Mine was built by Bruce Elam and I'm impressed. I've seen others built by Chuck Witmer, Richard McBride, and Steven Rupp. Who built yours ?

It pops right off, just pull lightly. The easy way to line it up when snapping it back on is to feel underneath the outer edge and guide the rubber grommets onto the 2 pins that stick up. Then pop the upper edge down.

I popped them both off, I can't find the plate. Exactly where is this bugger?

I had a hard time finding the name plate, but finally located it,
H. Rose built my engine

where though should I be looking? Is it under the passenger side cover or drivers side?

Passenger side, upper left on a metal GM plate

How many builders are there?

vttrod · 10-29-2005, 10:21 AM

I have been to the plant in Wixom and know some of the guys. There is about 26 builders and each engine stays at each station for 33 minutes to get the work done..

It is a really cool thing to watch and see. every bolt is double checked for proper torque..
