where does it say anything about it not being designed and built by ford? all it talks about is the forged crank, intake manifold, and head porting. the heads that the motor uses are the same ones used by jag, gt90 concept, and indigo; as are the cams and forged crank. they no longer weld the blocks together like they did for the concept cars, they are now made from one casting. look up the bore to stroke ratio of this motor, as well as that of the 3.0dohc, they are the same. the only difference in between the jag and aston v-12's is the intake manifolds and headers that are used. the two motors even use the same ignition modules and timing. you notice it talks about the car being assembeled by hand, but when they get to the motor they dont' say that, they just talk about improvements to the heads and crank.
