According to brexiteers there can’t be any negative effects as brexit hasn’t happened yet. Forward planning is clearly not their stong point.

....wouldn’t a stronger dollar-to-pound rate be better for Ford to manufacture there? Or am I missing something?

The problem would be if the plant has to import things from elsewhere - the exchange rate only helps if the raw materials are local.

Also, as the article says, the engines are being produced for cars produced in Europe, so the pound vs. the Euro matters, too.

And, there may be import duty issues in play, too, due to the UK being pushed out of the single market.
