bear351c 10,270 Posted December 22, 2019 Should be the same. Look up the part number for a rocker cover gasket, should say fits 302 from '66 to '98 or whatever...... 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkHey if fitting to xd xe xf would the au water neck be better as it faces up like a clevo early style for easy radiator hose fittment as the xr xy style used a different radiator?Sent from my SM-G570Y using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted December 25, 2019 I used the neck with the angle, then the factory Cleveland top hose fits.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHESTNUTXE 7,311 Posted December 25, 2019 so your using the xd xe style cleveland hose ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted December 25, 2019 Yeah, got it from supercheap, there’s a reason I couldn’t use the vertical outlet and from memory it was due to the timing cover so used an older angled style.

NZXD 2,328 Posted December 25, 2019 This is a photo from a few years ago when I thought about swapping to a V belt set up and realised that the pulleys didn’t line up. You can see how I manipulated the Cleveland hose into the angled water neck.
