Cool ZL1 LT4 engine builder plaque??

I was curious if the LT4 in the ZL1 got this. I haven't found anything that shows it but I know it was done for the corvette. It would be cool to know who built your engine. Time to open the hood and break out the flashlight.

The Z06 motors are built at Bowling Green..... ZL1 and CTS-V motors are built in Tonowanda and do not get the tags........

The performance build center doesn't produce engines for the ZL1. The Tonawanda Plant in my backyard does! And it's not hand-built there...so no plaques.

They could personalize the plaques for the ZL1 by naming the robots and putting their name on the plaques.

They build Z06 engines at both. Some are hand built and some are machine built. Apparently it matters a lot to some.

The Z06 motors are hand built in when you order the car with the $5000 "build your engine" option. You are paired with a master engine builder, and he/she assists you in building your engine.

The plaque goes in front of the supercharger on the Z06 engine. The ZL1 has an indented LT4 in place of the plaque.

My November built 2020 ZL1 LT4 was hand built by Kaleb Dudley. All of the 2020's I have looked at on dealers lots here in Calgary don't have the hand built engines, strange.

Kaleb, I hope you did a good job!
