[DeTomaso] First dumb Question of the year

>From Wikipedia:

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.

To All...
 
Who can tell me why the 4.6 and 5.4 engines are called Modular engines? ( and NO I don't know the answer)  Other then being OHC engines, they have a block, heads, intake, like the rest of the engine so where does the name Modular come from?
