Actually, you can build a motor with all aftermarket parts. I believe the increasingly common 427FEs are largely these. As are many race versions using Dart or World blocks.

That is not to say that the Ford crate motors are bad. Especially the inexpensive ones fill a void not otherwise filled. However, aftermarket engines also fill some voids.
