Tour GM's 6.2L LT1 & 2.0L LTG producing Tonawanda Engine Plant with Hot Rod Magazine!
Last week I reported that Hot Rod Magazine's Staff Editor Elana Scherr drove a Silver Ice Metallic 2016 Chevrolet Camaro SS to GM Powertrain Tonawanda Engine Plant where I work as an Engine Assembly Technician. While at the plant, the Hot Rod team had the pleasure of touring the Gen V manufacturing facilities where the 4.3L, 5.3L, 6.2L are built. I was privileged to be the only Assembly Technician granted a one on one with the team where we briefly discussed my recent order of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Read the article & tour the Gen V to see how your UAW built engines are proudly made in Tonawanda, NY!

Wow that must have been quite an experience. What part of the engine do you build? Must be satisfying when you see one of the engines you had a hand in rolling down the street.

I work on Team 7 where we apply the fuel rails to the left & right cylinder heads, then apply those to the engine & bolt them down.
