Flint Engine South

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Flint Engine South is a General Motors automobile engine factory in Flint, Michigan. The 733,000-square-foot (68,100 m2) plant opened in 2000 and is named to replace the Flint North engine plant. The plant produces the small four-cylinder GM Family 0 engine ("FamZero") and GM High Feature engines. The factory receives cast engine blocks from in Defiance, Ohio and Saginaw Metal Casting Operations in Saginaw, Michigan. It replaced Flint North.

On September 25, 2008, GM announced a $370 million investment to build another engine plant at the Flint South complex. The new plant was designed to produce the FamZero for the Chevrolet Cruze and Volt models beginning in 2010.[1]

Previously, Flint Engine South produced inline six cylinder versions of the GM Atlas engine until that engine line was discontinued.
