The XD and XE engine, both 302C and 351C had black painted blocks and silver rocker covers and air cleaners.



While it could be easy to dismiss the later Clevelands as fitted to XD and XE’s as mere shadows of their former selves, and not worth much merit, we actually find that they can throw up as much controversy as the earlier U.S. versus Australian engines, or 4V versus 2V. Welcome to the world of ‘Nascar’ blocks and ‘pillow’ blocks.
