Ford expects the 3.7-liter-powered Stang for two thirds of Mustang sales account, and the blue oval is so confident in the customer demand for the six-cylinder offering that it's hiring 60 new employees to support, through to production. To the Cleveland plant for its newest engine prep investment, Ford is also an additional 155 million U.S. dollars to bring the plant to accelerate.
Ford Powertrain Manufacturing Director Bill Russo seems pretty high on the Cleveland plant, adding that "it is not only building fuel-efficient engines for some of our most popular products Ford, it become a hub for the future of Ford powertrain." A hub with a Help Wanted poster on the door and no less.
While the news in Cleveland seems to be very good, the state of the drives for Ford's even better. The Oval allegedly pumped a staggering $ 1.8 billion in the drives for the years 2011 model and has a total of nine new engines on the road. Three of these new drives will find their way under the hood of the Mustang, like the 3.7-liter, 5.0-liter aluminum-and supercharged 5.4-liter engines are new for 2011.
