===351 Cleveland=== Initially, the 351C was imported to Australia from the US. Both the 351-2V and 351-4V were imported and both were in all respects the same as the American market counterparts. In November 1971, Ford of Australia began producing its own 351C engines, ending the importation of American engines. At the outset, Australia only produced a 351-2V engine, but in March 1972 Ford of Australia began to offer a new 351-4V engine with a 4-barrel carburetor. Australia only produced one style of cylinder head for the 351 engines, a 2V head with small ports and open chamber cylinder heads. As a result, the Australian 351-4V engines used the 2V cylinder head. This required a unique 4V intake manifold with the smaller 2V ports, unlike the American 351-4V intake manifold which used the large ports.<ref name="Cleveland"/> No 351C built in Australia used the large port cylinder heads or closed chamber combustion chambers like the US built 351C-4V engines. Ford Australia built a quantity of [[Main bearing#Bearing caps|4-bolt]] 5.8 litre engines β similar to those used in [[NASCAR]] at the time β for race purposes in Australia. When the engine's local racing career ended at the end of 1984, the surplus stock was shipped and sold in the United States for use in the [[De Tomaso Pantera]], as Detroit no longer offered the 351 Cleveland engine.<ref>{{cite web|title=DeTomaso Sports Cars|url=http://auto.howstuffworks.com/detomaso-sports-cars2.htm|website=HowStuffWorks.com|publisher=1998β2015 HowStuffWorks, InfoSpace LLC|access-date=5 February 2015}}</ref>
