I have no dog in this hunt, but I have made an observation.

The quality of aftermarket Model A parts have been questionable over the years.
Why? maybe it has to do with the fact that trying to keep costs down has forced the quality to suffer. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the market is small for Model A's and as a result parts are not necessarily made by craftsmen.

Now, on the other hand, Terry Burtz has been able to produce new parts, in China, but from a manufacturer who supplies engines for major car brands. There is a very big difference between a casting house that makes blocks and cranks vs iron skillets.

Just an observation, I have had junk parts from questionable sources and original Ford parts butchered by someone in the past. My money says the import engine is good.
