Keith, correct me if I am wrong, but I recall that the engine plant was close to the assembly plant, just down the road a bit on Van Slyke Road. The engines were loaded on tractor trailers and driven the short distance to the assembly plant. The story I heard was that the cost of installing a conveyor system was more than just trucking them over there. I spent a little time in the assembly plant in 78-79 while taking some grad school courses there.
