Tonawanda in mine.
I don't think it matter where they were built to be "best". Gary

Re: Which engine is best? K, V or T
I have all three but a friend of mine said the tonawanda was the better of the three. Just wondered what was out there.

Re: Which engine is best? K, V or T
I'm surmising that Tonawanda is just a little more well known for it's big block production, so folks tend to associate it with "gooder"

Re: Which engine is best? K, V or T
I lived in Buffalo for a short while and worked swing shift and stopped at a tavern after work. There was a lady that worked swing at the Tonawanda plant stopped there as well. Her name was Wanda, maybe that is why I liked
those engines so. LOL.
