picture of the rare, 1973 400 fmx block

George PAdmin.

On a couple of occasions recently, on the topic of Ford motor choices for the Pantera, I have mentioned the existance of a rare 400 engine block that has the Windsor/Cleveland bell housing bolt pattern. This block is referred to as the fmx block because it was cast to allow use of fmx transmissions on the 400 block. This block was cast only in 1973 and has a block number of D3AE-B.

I saw this picture today on another forum I hang out at, I 've seen it many times, but today it struck me that some one might find this picture interesting, it shows the unique feature of this block & how to identify it.

Your "block head" friend on the PIBB, George
