    I worked at the GM Flint V-8 engine plant in Flint Michigan for nearly 34 years.The Targetmaster engines were built on the same assembly line as all other engines with all the same parts as all other engines. There should be no differences in any Targetmaster that you wouldn't find in any other engine built during that era.

    The plant where millions of Chevrolet V-8, 6 and 4 cylinder engines (including the Chevette OHC) were built, beginning in 1954 for the '55 model, was closed in 1999 and torn down a few years later. All that remains of this facility is a huge vacant lot. The main Chevrolet Manufacturing complex also was totally razed and is now a 40 acre brownfield. So,too, for the BUICK CITY complex. It's all gone. Fisher Body? Gone. Flint is the birthplace of GM who, has for the most part, abandoned this city and left it a sad and depressed place.
