the LT1 delivers power in a way that better suits a truck than the coyote for example. doesnt make it a truck engine but if you had to pick between the two the LT1 is the clear choice.
theres no such thing as a truck or muscle car engine.

I have never heard such nonsense in my entire life. You sound like you're trying to talk around your previous statement in an ill-fated attempt to save face. Those engines were put into trucks and SUVs because the vehicles were built for street performance. If the vehicles were built for towing and other heavy duty truck stuff then they would have built or re-worked the engine to suit those purposes. And it isn't about which engine is better suited for a truck. Neither of those engines are truck engines no matter how you try to spin it. Zeke talked out his ass when he made that statement. And your stretching everything you can to back him up just puts you right in the same boat as him.
For the record, Coyote engine in the Mustang...car engine. Coyote engine in the F150...truck engine. Completely different engines. Could I take a F150 Coyote and sell it as a Mustang Coyote engine? Or is it a truck engine? If someone asked me if it was a truck Coyote engine should I say "no"? Guess what. The F150 Coyote has a different cam, different tune, different exhaust manifolds, different oil cooling system, different front cover, is tuned for towing, etc. Why? Because it is a truck engine and is in a truck designed for towing. The SRT10 truck and Trackhawk are NOT designed for towing and those engines were in a Supercar and Muscle Car before they were put into vehicles designed for street performance. What do you find soo confusing about that?
