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.

The modern LS does bolt to the old bell housings? A Ford and Honda do not?

RESISTANCE IS FUTILE. YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED. INSTALL AN LS

Just kidding.

For the record, I don't like seeing Stratostreak cars being retrofitted with LS engines and would not ever do that myself. I just want the record set straight that LS is not a chevy engine, it is a corporate engine.

Even being a FORD GUY, I think that GM Powertrain did a very nice job on the LS engines (which greatly resemble the 1996 Ford Modular Engine
family in some areas). It some ways I think they did a better job in parts of the design.

ps Agree Brad on the WIKIPEDIA point. Anyone can post on that site and the info is rarely checked for absolute truth.

I am sure that the Car Show Purists would have another opinion too.
