285v-31 tranny to 302 cleveland
G'Day from WA (Western Australia). I have a 1970 F700 tipper fitted with the Clark 285v gear box and two speed diff. The current motor is the 300 in line six, I am thinking of replacing the motor with a 302 cleveland. My question is will the 302 and Clark bolt together, if not what will I need bell housing etc??
Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.

302 c and 300 six have the same bell pattern, right? If so, it should work. Check starter location, I think the six bell works on the V8.
The clutch might be a question mark. You can probably use the same disc, but will the pressure plate bolt to the 302c flywheel? If not, you might have to find a pressure plate that fits the 302c that is the same diameter as the clutch disc you have. That could be interesting if it's 12" or larger.

I don't think they use the same bellhousing. The 300 and the 302 Windsor use the same one, but the 302 Cleveland was one of those rare "Australia Model Only" deal I believe. I believe it uses the same bellhousing as the 351 Cleveland. What other engines that bellhousing is used on I am not sure, so somebody with more experience will have to chime in.
