[DeTomaso] Did Ford make a 400 for the Pantera?

[STEVEN L HAWKINS]

Thomas,

It's true that Ford made some 400 blocks in 1973 with the small bell-housing bolt pattern.  I have one of those blocks in my Pantera.  The motor mounts are different so an adapter was made.  I believe maybe the bosses were on the block but would have to be drilled and tapped.
