Don't think so, but for your comparison, the 351M and the 400 share the bell housing bolt pattern with the 460 rather than any of the smaller engines.
Which straight six does yours have? I'm only half-way sure that none of them shared the pattern with a 460, but that's only guessing on my part.

Probably a 200, 250 or 300. There is a 6 cyl forum to get more direct motor info. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum52/
I always thought that the 240 was the OEM motor size, and the newer 300 was a common upgrade. I did that swap WAY back when, after I blew up the 6 that was in my 73, I got a JY 300 and with a 3 on the tree, it would scoot.
