Hixi, ford in the US had all bell housing to block bolt patterns the same. This was for six and eight cylinders engine families so that they could use anything in anything, was a corporate standard ( makes it cheap to manufacture). This was the position when I worked for them, cant see them changing from this as a standard. The new motor is a lot wider across the top than the old.

I believe the pattern is the same but the dowels are in a different spot and the starter is on the out side of the bellhousing not from the engine side
