Ouch,


The seller may not know that this block is a standard block.


At least two things make the Australian Cleveland block different than its North American cousin. As a rule, Aussie Cleveland castings don’t have Ford North America casting numbers (as mentioned earlier), though it is believed some of the North American molds were shipped to Ford’s Geelong, Australia, foundry for those fi rst Aussie castings, which means there are some  with North American Ford casting numbers cast in Australia. Another belief is Ford North America shipped discontinued Cleveland casting molds to Australia in 1974 when production ended here.
