Ford Cleveland Engine Plant 1 Goes Live (Again)
Atomicalex
It’s official! Ford’s Cleveland Engine Plant 1 is making engines again. The plant, home of the famed Cleveland engine series, was tapped to build the 3.5l EcoBoost V6. The EcoBoost is the first direct-injection twin turbo engine to be produced in the US, and Cleveland is the first plant to build EcoBoost engines. Ford has big plans for the engine—it will eventually show up in nearly every platform. When I was a kid, I knew this plant as Brookpark Engine, and had more than a few relatives who worked there.

Good to hear. The 351 Cleveland V8 was a good strong motor in our old Bronco.

Where exactly is this plant, had it been shut down? No matter what great news. It does seem Ford has got their act together. Dave. dkimmel@300below.com

In all seriousness, good news. I’m glad to hear these people will be able to work again. Now I’m gonna go read up on this EcoBoost.

I think Oldscoob is upset that Chrysler is bankrupt and GM is tanking. I think it also has to do with the fact that Ford is becoming the most successful of the Big 3.

Ok oldscoob exactly what the shit are you talking about? This is not the first time I’ve seen some cryptic weirdness from you.
