Flint and Tonawanda?
Were the LT-1 engines for the 1970 Z/28 and later years assembled (stamped) in both Flint and Tonawanda?
Thanks,

Re: Flint and Tonawanda?
Stated earlier from JohnZ.
[i]"Tonawanda had two completely separate V-8 lines - one complete system (machining and assembly) for small-blocks, and one for big-blocks. ALL big-blocks were built at Tonawanda.However,on the small-block line,they only built hydraulic-lifter engines,and didn't have the added machining stations in the small-block cylinder head line to add the unshrouding cut in the chamber wall required for 2.02" intake valves. <u>All small-blocks with solid lifters i.e. LT-1 (and the few hydraulic-lifter engines that used 2.02" valves, like the L-79) were built at Flint V-8, which had the unshrouding-cut stations in their cylinder head lines."</u>
