    Sorry Mike but as far as I know the posters are all gone. You could try asking the folks at the National Corvette museum, perhaps they could get you a copy. Or you could make a posting looking for one - there may be a few stashed away.
    Good luck!

    Dear Don,

    Are posters of the LS9 engine builders still available?

    Hello eaglei,
    I was just reading a forum that members apparently find a plate in the engine bay that tell who built the LS7 engine. Well where can I find that plate? Also if I provide you with my engine code, where do I find that and can you decode it for me?

    Thank you!

    Hi Don,
    Just thought I would let you know that I found your name proudly displayed on our new 2013 Corvette 427 60th Anniversary Collector's edition. The car runs great! Our s/n is 00088 on the car itself. We would love to get the engine builder poster for our car if possible. Is it still possible? Just let me know.

    Well it seems the white dots are an alignment thing for the assemblers to put the hoses on. I was on the right track. thanks for your help. In the course of the thread some idiot from Canada got smart and I let him have it. Lets see where it goes from there. If you use the search feature with "white dots" it will take you right to it.Thanks again
