The Ford Motor Company Cleveland Engine plant, also known simply as Cleveland Engine, is an engine manufacturing facility located in the city of Brook Park, a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio, United States.
The complex opened its doors in 1951 when it began production of Ford’s first overhead valve engine, more commonly known as the Lincoln Y-block V8. In 1955, a second facility, known as Cleveland Engine 2, was added to the complex for production of the Y-block 292 V8 destined for the Ford Thunderbird. Both facilities operated side by side up until 2012, where all operations were converted back to Cleveland Engine 1, which eventually changed its name to Cleveland Engine.
Today, the Cleveland Engine plant only has one facility and overseas the production of the Ford 2.0L EcoBoost, Ford 2.3L EcoBoost and Ford 3.5L EcoBoost engines. The following page shows information about the Ford Motor Company Cleveland Engine plant.
