REX73GTO, By your "plant reasoning" my 64 GTO was a Chevrolet produced vehicle and not a Pontiac because Kansas City used Chevrolet Built Forms/codes/people etc at that plant. But if you want to call a LS design Engine a Chevrolet Engine, go for it.

When you have a Common Engine Design (that goes in multiple body lines) A group like GM Powertrain Engineering would do the whole driveline package and the Chevrolet/Buick/Corvette/Cadillac type groups would INTERFACE with the GM Powertrain Engineering people. The "Brand People" would have the vehicle and the Powertrain people would have the Engine/Trans/4x4 type stuff. That is the way that it has been done since GM Powertrain and Ford Powertrain groups were formed years ago. Early 2000 MY timeframe so about 14 years now.
