Exclamation Is it all plastic too?

I'm not sharing this to bash Dodge, but I wish to know if the same is true of L99/LS3 engines?

So funny - "If they could make this cooler out of plastic they would!"
Plastic fuel rails? That sounds like a catastrophe waiting to happen

And no, this is NOT true of the LS platform. GM saves their plastics for the interior

Got a kick out of the narration, but i agree with him 100%.
Been a mechanic for around 50 years and have watched the transformation to crap plastic on engines.
