July 9th, 2009
Every now and then, I would field a call from a DIY mechanic asking tons of questions about how to do this or that operation, in regards to a rebuilt engine job.

History of The Ford Cleveland Engine Plant..
March 3rd, 2009
As a kid, the Ford Cleveland engine plant produced the 351-C engines. Which stood for 351 cubic inch engine, or (5.7 liters), manufactured in Cleveland plant #2.
