    All you would be getting is bare blocks.
    The engines are assembled in Michigan.

    I was under the impression it was the same block used for the LS9 but with hypereutechtic pistons instead of forged, a 9.0 CR and a TVS 1900 instead of the 2300 the 9 gets.

    Those engines are assembled in the Wixom plant in Michigan. I think the block castings come from plants in New York, Mexico, and Canada. IIRC....

    BTW nice pearformance reference, havent heard that in years. Contra right?
