Both Australian built motors (302C and 351C) used a unique Australian cast crankshaft, not the forged 4M cranks used in US motors. Australian made crankshafts have 351 or 302 cast into the front journal.

2 bbl and 4 bbl carbs are used on both motors, however after 1976 Carter Thermoquads of about 800cfm rating were used instead of the Autolite carb, this included the 302C. 302C engines supplied with a 4 bbl Carter Thermoquad carb after about 1977 had a uniquely modified spreadbore type manifold which feature a reduced plenum area for increased throttle response. These 4 bbl manifolds were not used on 351C engines.
