Does anyone know how many hours it takes to develop a chassis for ride AND handling?

Does anyone know how many hours it takes to calibrate an engine for the first use in a vehicle?

From someone not knowing the difference it's just a Camaro with some new parts. But even CC brakes and an LS7 (both from the Z06) require huge amounts of engineering to put in a Camaro and make sure that not only does it just start and go it will be durable and perform under very severe conditions.

Way more details in developing the business case than I know for this car but it is way more than a parts bin special. Too much new content and parts never used on a Camaro.
Thanks for the insight Jim!
