Cleveland 351 engines were built in Australia at Ford's Geelong plant (near Melbourne) from 1972 until 1982. They went into locally built Falcons and Fairlanes; don't know what the numbers were, but it would have been a popular option.
The 351C engines were used in the almost legendary Falcon GTHO Phase II and Phase III cars that had significant racing success here ( but - just occasionally - were beaten by those pesky little 6 cylinder Holden Torana XU1 upstarts).

Cheers,
Glen
