| − | Australian built | + | Australian-built Clevelands used either a cast iron 2bbl or 4bbl manifold in 2v size ports. Initially 302C's were only available with the 2bbl (1974-1976) and 351C's had either a 2bbl or 4bbl option. |
Rochester carburetors were used on the 2bbls with an aluminum adapter plates. Carter Thermoquads were used on 4bbl spread bore type manifolds with an aluminum EGR plate. Early production 4bbl manifolds had large secondary inlet ports. Later production 4bbl manifolds had the secondary ports reduced in size in an effort to increase mileage and throttle response particularly on 302's with the 4bbl option. | Rochester carburetors were used on the 2bbls with an aluminum adapter plates.

| − | To confuse matters Australian production 351C motors were mixed with US built Clevelands (mostly 4bbl Autolite motors) through to about 1976-77. Early Australian production 302C's 1973-1975 (XA-XB Falcon)used US blocks with Aussie heads and crankshaft/conrods. Then it appears that US built "C" blocks bought by Ford Australia were used up to the late 70's in regular production. | + | To confuse matters, Australian production 351C motors were mixed with US-built Clevelands (mostly 4bbl Autolite motors) through to about 1976-77.
