Assembly plant for the 3.5 EB?

[Deleted member 11970]

I know the 5.0 is assembled at the Essex plant in Windsor, but does anyone know where the 3.5 EB is assembled?

Cleveland, Ohio. Ford took the gov "bail out" funds and updated that plant with it to start producing the ecoboost.

My 22 3.5 EB came from Dearborn,then shipped 10 miles to my dealer

Mine is from Dearborn

The last two 3.5 eco boost engines I've had came in vehicles assembled in Kansas. The engines are assembled in Ohio, would be curious to know if they are just assembled there too or fully birthed. So much casting and forging is done outside of the US now it's silly.

that’s rather incorrect. Ford didn’t take any bail out funds. They did take a government loan prior to the bail out fund fiasco.

Cool thanks for clearing that up! It was definitely not the same bail out GM and Chrysler took.

Sweet. Thanks for all your replies! I’m glad it’s made in the US unlike Ram and GM now it looks like

yeah, sorry didn’t mean to seem so harsh.

Yeah Ford was smart enough and had the Ford thinking and saw the financial crisis coming. They had the intuition to actually seek help before they were forced so they still got base government back to help but it was a traditional type loan paid with interest. That loan was paid in full and paid off early.

As of 2020 it was still not paid off.-

The article does say it was supposed to be paid off in 2022.

I live about a mile from the Essex Engine Plant. It was a bit of a disappointment that was not available in my Tremor. It was made available in 2023 but in retrospect I’m very happy with the 3.5 EB. I honestly don’t know where my engine was made although the Tremor was made in Dearborn (about 10 miles from my house). I’ll have to go check!

What, you guys don't call it the 213 Cleveland engine?

We could call it the 350 Cleveland. If deciliters weren’t just a bit too metric.

Nothing is cast or forged in Cleveland, everything is purchased from suppliers. Cleveland Engine does final machining of blocks and heads, and assembles all the supplier components into a twin turbo vroom vroom.

I believe the blocks come from Mexico, not sure about heads, but I'd guess USA or Canada, if I were to throw a dart at the dartboard.
