Engine Build Experience

The Corvette Engine Build Experience program is not yet available for the 2020 C8 Corvette models. We will announce the re-opening of the program once it becomes available.

Build Your Own Corvette Engine!

We're proud to announce the exclusive Engine Build Experience is now available for the 2019 Corvette ZR1 and Z06 trim levels - still the only one of its kind for supercar customers.

Assemble the 650-hp supercharged LT4 engine for your Z06 or the 750-hp LT5 engine for your ZR1 at the new Performance Build Center inside the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.

Includes:

  • A full day with a Performance Build Center engine assembly technician who instructs and oversees the build
  • A personalized engine plaque and poster identifying the customer who performed the engine build
  • Professional photography of the experience
  • Piston trophy commemorating the experience with customer name and date
  • Build Your Own Engine Polo and Z06/ZR1 cap

The Engine Build Experience is selected with order code PBC and is offered on all Z06 and ZR1 trim levels. The $5,000 package includes a full day with a Performance Build Center engine assembly technician who instructs and oversees the build, a personalized engine plaque identifying the owner/builder and professional photography of the experience. After the ordered is submitted, personnel from the National Corvette Museum will handle concierge services for the customer, following up on the scheduled build date and handling logistics on the day of the build. The customer is responsible for costs involving travel to Bowling Green and lodging.

Upon completion, the engine moves to the vehicle assembly area of the plant, where it will be installed at a future date, aligned with the scheduled assembly of the customer's Z06/ZR1.

Customers can catch their Corvette being assembled through a special tour organized by the National Corvette Museum (www.corvettemuseum.org). They can also opt for Museum Delivery (order code R8C), which personalizes the buying experience with a unique delivery program at the National Corvette Museum, located across the road from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant.
