We're back ! ! No thanks due to Kenny who used his administrative skills to delete an entire thread - all 65 posts and 15,000 views worth .My Christmas bonus just grew by a huge bunch - soon as I'm done putting things back together here I'm switching over to Kayak.com to book tickets to somewhere warm for the holidays .


All I can do now is pick it up at my last post .........

Early this past Wednesday morning I was given an extra treat by my friends at GM Powertrain Division - I was to follow an entire engine build - an LS 7 from bare block to finished and tested engine .Although the parts were ready it still had to be final assembled .Along the way everything was checked and double checked - there were computers that checked computers - they take this very seriously - even the "builder" I was assigned to wanted to be proud of every engine he assembled - and he does three a day - and his name goes on each and every one he does .As you'll see from the photos this engine is built in under two hours - thats right -bare block to test for leaks - fuel/oil/air in under two hours - and it passed with flying colors .
