Australian-built Clevelands used either a cast iron 2bbl or 4bbl manifold with 2v size ports. Initially 302C's were only available with a 2bbl carb.(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.
