Why is it called a 'modular' engine?

Same block can take mulitple heads, diffierent cranks, different cams, without any extra work. Saves time and money when the truck uses the same motor but needs more torque than a mustang.

Think of it as a mix and match motor that ford uses to get the desired output.
