Is LT4 manufactured in both Tonawanda and Bowling Green?
Just curious...Is the LT4 built in BOTH Tonawanda, NY and Bowling Green, KY?
Motor Trend just put out an article about GM's additional investment in Bowling Green Motor Trend Article: ".....GM will invest $44 million into Bowling Green’s Performance Build Center, which is responsible for producing the automaker’s LT4 engine that powers the Corvette Z06...." Information from GM's Tonawanda Engine Plant website: Products:

I read an article that said the LT4 engines for the Z06 that had the Z07 option were build in BG and all others were built in Tonawanda. Also any cars that were ordered with the 'Build you own engine' were also built in BG. That could have changed since then.

I'm pretty sure they are all built in Tonawanda. Those for the Z06 are shipped to Bowling Green. The only exception may be the build-your-own engines.
Edit: Just looked it up. You can build your own engine at Bowling Green. https://media.gm.com/media/us/en/gm/...te-eng-gm.html

Z07 LT4s are all built in BG and get a plaque just like the LS7 engines. All non Z07 LT4s are built in Tonawanda. |
