While many oil-stained enthusiasts will scratch their heads at paying $5,800 for the "privilege" of building their own 2011 Corvette engine, others will leap at the chance--it's a job for most, but a joy for some. This video shows the process happening at hyper-speed.

Corvette just announced the engine build program yesterday, and now those curious as to what goes into building an LS V-8 can see for themselves before they make the leap on their own. It also shows just how hand-built they really are. Hint: it's not a marketing misnomer.
