Well yes and no. They were specially built at Ford, but never made it into production( thank Bill France), and were sold as crate engines complete. Now you may still be able to find a crate, highly expensive unless your uncle/father/anyone that is fond of you bought one new and has it in the garage. Usually even the new ones should be gone through for various reasons. Aftermarket parts are becoming available so you could "piece" one together, also pretty pricey. They are absolutely beautiful and are "mecca" to many of us old Ford guys. If you are serious, you can check in a recent Hemmings, they used to have a few guys in there that listed parts and engines. It would be a nice place to start. Bring lots of money, you'll be surprised how fast it goes...but one of the guys that has built one recently can tell you more about that.
