    It might referring to its importance.
    The only article I found making the comparison was Business Insider talking about the battery getting gearheads excited. Or something like that; it was behind a pay wall.

    For years, enthusiasts have been putting Chevy small blocks in various cars. Maybe with the availability of these EV powertrains being available by themselves, they will be chosen for future projects.

    Whose intellectual property went to the new GM.
