If there were a new 5.5L DHOC TT engine, it would probably be low volume as well.

Yes. That is really my point. The 4.2TT is at Bowling Green because the low volume, hand- built facility is at Bowling Green.
The low volume build is at Bowling Green because GM thought it would be cool to let Corvette Z06 and ZR1 buyers participate in building their own engines. Started that at Wixom, but BG made more sense since the car was being built there. So when it came time to replace Wixom and add another low volume engine....there ya go...put it in BG rather than set up separate low volume build centers.
