Build Your Own Engine!

Want to build your own engine? You can! And upon completion, you can even get a personalized nameplate added to the engine, making it a true one-of-a-kind. I was informed that Chevrolet Performance is offering customers the opportunity to help build their own LS7 or LS9 crate engine.  They started the program roughly a year ago. You pay the cost of the build experience (which can even be done at your local dealership), they process the order, and off you go to Detriot.  This program is possible because of the hand-assembly processes used at the 100,000-square-foot Performance Build Center, and although you’d also need to pay your way to Detroit, GM covers lodging, meals, and transportation.   You build your engine with the assistance of an expert assembler, you get to say you built your engine yourself at a GM assembly plant, and you get to say you “did it all” when it comes to building your project.  Very cool for those “do it yourself” project lovers. Here are the details below:
