• Engine Application: Built for the Ford Cleveland 302C and 351C engine family. Suits Australian-built Falcon XW, XY, XA, XB, XC, XD, XE and Fairlane / LTD Cleveland-powered cars, US Torino 351C builds, and Cleveland engine swaps into hot rods, F-trucks and customs. The plain top is the right choice for builds where logos or badges would feel out of place.

• Cleveland vs Windsor is Critical: Ford 302 and 351 engines come in two completely different families with different cylinder heads and different valve covers. Cleveland (302C / 351C) and Windsor (302W / 351W) covers are not interchangeable. Cleveland heads have the valve covers shaped wider with the bolts further out and a more rectangular footprint, while Windsor covers are narrower with bolts closer in. Confirm you have Cleveland heads before ordering.

• Plain Top vs Logo Variants: This is the completely smooth, no-logo top, which makes it the right pick for sleeper builds, restorations where factory-correct simplicity matters, or modified builds where the focus is on the rest of the engine bay rather than the cover. If you want the engine family identity on display, the Cleveland-logo and 351 Cleveland-logo variants are separate listings.

• 105mm Tall Profile: At 105mm overall, the tall design clears a high-lift camshaft, roller rockers, shaft mount rockers and stud girdles that are common in performance Cleveland builds. Standard height covers often foul on aftermarket roller valvetrain, which is where this profile earns its place.

• Black EDP Finish: EDP (electrophoretic deposition) is an industry-standard coating process where paint is electrostatically applied to the metal in a dipping bath, producing an even, fully covered finish across every surface including down inside the bolt holes. The result is a corrosion-resistant black finish that is more consistent than spray paint and harder wearing than basic powder coat in tight or recessed areas. The smooth top finish is particularly clean on the plain version since there are no etched recesses to catch the eye.

• Removable Baffle Plates: The screw-in baffle plates can be removed if you are running an external breather setup or a dry sump system that does not need internal baffling. For a standard street build, leave the baffles fitted to control oil splash off the rocker arms and stop oil being pulled out through the breather. This flexibility is uncommon at this price point.

• Included Hardware and What You Need Separately: Comes with the retaining bolts and baffle plates. Cleveland-specific valve cover gaskets, push-in breathers, grommets and PCV valves are sourced separately, so plan to add these to the order. A fresh set of Cleveland gaskets is essential, as Windsor gaskets do not fit the wider Cleveland cover footprint.

• Practical Buyer Tip: The plain top suits builds where the engine bay theme is clean and understated rather than branded. Pairs well with black or wrinkle-finish accessory brackets, a low-key air cleaner and matte intake manifold. EDP-finished aluminium benefits from gentle cleaning with a soft microfibre cloth and mild engine bay cleaner, avoiding harsh degreasers or abrasive pads that can scratch through the coating and expose bare aluminium underneath.
