Steve,
I have seen many 73 400M small bell-housing engines found in Ford Country Squire Station wagons in the salvage yard....

The complete comment was:

400 FMX, should be a D1AE block. That's the name that was given to
it
because of the trans that backed it. Also, in `73 Ford produced a
400
with the small bell and dual motor mounts designed for the Pantera
---
So he clearly is differentiating the FMX 400 from the special
Pantera 400.
Mike, ever heard anything about this?

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.

I have never heard this before.
Is there any truth to this claim?
