The plant utilized the die casting and lost-foam casting processes, operating from 1959 to May 2009. It was originally built to cast engine blocks and cylinder heads for the Chevrolet Turbo-Air 6 engine used in the Chevrolet Corvair from 1960 until 1969.[2] Aluminum parts included the block, heads, flywheel housing, crankcase cover, clutch housing, and pistons. 92 lb (41.7 kg) of aluminum was used in each engine.
