Is this the place where our LT1s are built exclusively?

As far as I understood, this is where the V8s are currently produced for our cars:

Is this the only place, or is the Assembly plant in Lansing also supplied the engines from the Tonawanda plant (as the Vette's are)?

The Monroney label says "United States" for engine origin. That rules out St. Catharines.

I am always happy to hear this, as I live very close to where my motor was built.

Where is the column / line on the sticker that specifically shows the origin of the engine?
The fact that the car is assembled in Lansing obviously reveals the complete car's origin, but the origin of the engine specifically?

Please enlighten me.

It's on the window sticker (that's the Monroney label).

Found it!
Located under "Parts Content Information" at the Bottom right side of the W.Sticker.

BtW: Origin of Transmission reads: "Mexico". Guess that Tremec has its TR-6060 plant located there.

GM Tonowanda, very cool plant. Had to visit for a work assignment a couple of years ago and had a blast! One of the many times working for GM and being a 'car guy' really pay off! Amazing to visit assembly plants and watch things come together!

I envy you for the opportunity you had.
I would love to tour the plant as well - Especially after watching the Youtube section and reading about the plant and its history.

LT1 is produced at both tonawanda and st. Catherines powertrain facilities. LT4 is also being built at st. Catherines now. Both plants have ‘Gen V’ v8 assembly and machining lines that make all v8’s except the LT5 which is a bowling green special...

But if it reads on my W.Sticker that the engine's origin is the USA, then it must be Tonawanda....

In the first place, before investigating, I thought that only the Vette's LT1s delivered to Bowling Green for assembly, originate from the Tonawanda plant and the LT1s for the Camaros in St. Catharines.
