Editing Ford 335 engine (section)

===History===
During the 1969 Model year, Ford of Australia imported approximately 17,000 [[Ford small block engine#302|302]] and [[Ford small block engine#351|351 Windsor]] V8's. However, the 351 Windsor was phased out for 1970 in favor of the newer 351 Cleveland. The 351 Cleveland engines continued to be imported from the US along with the 302 V8. Both the low-performance 351C-2V and the high performance 351C-4V were imported with the vast majority of the engines being the 351C-2V. Like the US engines, the 4V versions used the closed "quench" chambered heads and used the larger ports on the cylinder heads.<ref name="Cleveland"/>

In November 1971, Ford of Australia began to manufacture the 335-series V8 locally at the Geelong engine plant. They produced both the 351C-2V and 351C-4V engine along with a short stroke version displacing 302 cubic inches. These new locally built engines replaced the previously imported 302 and 351C from the USA. Initially, the cylinder blocks were imported from the US, while the remaining parts were manufactured in Australia at the Geelong Ford Foundry. In 1973, Ford of Australia received word of the fact the Ford of USA was stopping production of the 351 Cleveland engine after the 1974 model year. As a result, Ford of Australia placed an order for approximately 60,000 engine blocks to act as a supply until Geelong could start producing its own engine blocks. In 1975 Geelong began production of its own engine blocks which it continued until December 1981. All engine blocks produced in Australia were the short deck 9.206" engine block. The last Australian Ford to receive a Cleveland V8 engine was a Ford XE Fairmont [[Ghia]] ESP sedan, [[Vehicle Identification Number]] JG32AR33633K built on 25 November 1982.<ref name="Cleveland"/> Ford Australia continued to make remnant stock of the 351C available in Bronco and F-series vehicles until August 1985. Australian-built 351 engines were also used by [[De Tomaso]] in Italy for the [[De Tomaso Pantera|Pantera]], [[De Tomaso Longchamp|Longchamp]], and [[De Tomaso Deauville|Deauville]] cars after American supplies had come to an end. These engines were tuned in Switzerland and were available with a range of outputs up to {{cvt|360|PS|kW hp|0}}.<ref name="AK87">{{cite book|title=Auto Katalog 1987|publisher=[[:de:Motor Presse Stuttgart|Vereinigte Motor-Verlage GmbH & Co.
