OK I have to ask. Being new to Fords and Mustangs, what do they mean by Modular ? Please be gentle

From wikipedia. I know its not 100% reputable, but it sounds good to me!

"The Modular engine is Ford Motor Company's modern overhead camshaft (OHC) V8 and V10 engine family. It gradually replaced the Windsor small-block and 385 big-block engines over several years in the mid-1990s. Contrary to popular belief, the Modular engine did not get its name from its design or sharing of certain parts among the engine family. Instead, the name was derived from a manufacturing plant protocol, "Modular", where the plant and its tooling could be changed out in a matter of hours to manufacture different versions of the engine family.[1] It is used in Ford trucks, (called Triton) in Lincolns (called Intech) and in Ford and Mercury cars.
The engines were first produced in Romeo, Michigan but additional capacity was added in Windsor, Ontario."

yes, modular refers to the production plants. so that means that you cant really interchange parts between engines, which im sure is what you were wondering.
