... I don't know if they still do the tours like that.
They do.

Like yourself, I have visited the Niche Line when they were running the Terminator motors and again when they ran the 5.4's for the S197 Shelby and FGT.

The builders of my Termi motor signed a photo of the plaque I brought with me.

I'm visiting again next month to watch the Predator motors get built.:thumbsup:

Wait, can anyone go to the plant? Yes, a stupid question, but I lose nothing in asking...lol Would be a great experience, and finding my engine builders, would be awesome

SB: That is SOOOOooo cool! I would love to take that engine niche line tour and watch it in person. (although the video is pretty close to being there but I bet it's pretty dang loud in that big place.) Nonetheless, I'm envious. Do you have other reasons such as family or business that take you North or are you going JUST to do the tour?

This trip is all about the Niche Line and reconnecting with fellow enthusiasts from the past.

I think touring the plant would be bad ass. Maybe we should plan a group tour. Who’s in? We need to pick a date.

Thats me bidding on the large :)
FWIW - the shirts fit really poorly ;) As something to go with the car, it's cool but the sleeves are up in my arm pits.

Can anyone tour the plant?
There are a few layers involved in arranging tours at this facility. Without speaking on behalf of my REP contact, I will be happy to get you more information on the subject.
I have room for a few more attendees on Oct. 3rd., so if anyone is interested let me know.
