Tom - You are sorta correct but not really. All GMAD and Fisher Body organizations were replaced in the the "80s. GMAD went through several changes to what is now Small Car, Mid Lux, Truck etc. These are, of course all parts of GM. I work for GM in Kansas City, and from 1988 through 2003 we built Pontiac Grand Prix. The name on the sign out front is "Fairfax Assembly". (We are located in the Fairfax industrial district of Kansas City, Kansas.) But we were the only plant that built this car for those years. Now the Grand Prix is built in Oshawa, Canada. Currently we are building the Chevy Malibu and just started up with the Saturn Aura. These are on the same platform but believe me when I tell you that we deal with the motor divisions on these cars. What I mean is we have Chevy people we have to deal with on changes, marketing, etc, and now with the Saturn, we have their organization to deal with as well. These are all General Motors vehicles but the Chevy and Saturn organizations are making the calls on what goes and what doesn"t. So even though the motor divisions no longer techically assemble the cars, they are the designers and marketing of those vehcicles. While it is true that some parts are shared, a Chevy is still a Chevy and a Pontiac is a Pontiac.
And to answer the origional post, the Chevy 350 v8 engine is the one used in GMC trucks that advertise a 350 v8.
Hope that answers more questions than it generates.
