Except that my home-built engine block consists of parts that I can
repair myself. Parts that thousands of other people use and fix
themselves, whereas the original engine has some parts welded
together so that you can never know how they work and if they break
you have to get a new engine.
Your home-built engine block, while made of parts you can repair
yourself, would probably not fit so well in any car, and would need
planning and lots of work to fit in there. Plus, would it support all
the same sensors and things that the cars computer expects? Probably
not.
