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.

221, 260, 289, and 351W were made in Windsor. 302s were made at Cleveland Engine Plant #1; the last one was shipped the week before Christmas in 2000. The last four months the plant built ahead for Ford of Australia, who continued to install those engines in new cars for about 2 years. | 221, 260, 289, and 351W were made in Windsor. 302s were made at Cleveland Engine Plant #1; the last one was shipped the week before Christmas in 2000.
