I was catching up on the news papers as I have been out of town, and thought of this old thread when I read this article yesterday. The last of the 496 / 8.1's came off the assembly line here this week. Let's all hope that the merc. replacement will be as good (or even better?)

Merry Christmas everyone

Thanks for sharing. I remember the decal on the valve covers of the hot Chevys from the '60s & '70s: "Tonawanda..Team..No1"
I had a '70 Chevelle SS 454 LS-6 and I remember all the 396-427-454-502 engines came from that plant.
Sad to see it go.:smt009
