Just wondering, in Australia the 302 Cleveland is pretty common. It was not sold in the usa was it? I know the 302 windsor was but i don't think the 302 cleveland was. thanks for your help,
From what I can gather, you'd be hard pressed to find a set of closed chamber 2V Cleveland heads in the US. These were cast in Australia to be used on 302C engines, in order to keep the compression up (about 9.5:1). You can use these on 351C engines, but the comp. goes up to 12:1 or higher (like 4V closed chamber heads) and hence special fuel is required. Also, The Boss 302 was a windsor block, wasn't it? (with cleveland heads?)
That's a good question Christian. I always thought that the boss 302 was a 335 block but then again I have right next to no knowledge on this engine family.
Yes I know about the Boss 302, you're correct, it was a 302 Winsor block with Cleveland heads. The 302 closed chamber heads are as common as mud here in Australia, and I belive they are sought after in the USA.
Remember, it's not aussie 351C heads you want, as these are identical to US 2v 351C heads. You want Aussie 302C heads, with the small combustion chambers.
